Those Were the Days (2000)
Reviewed by: Fatty on 2001-08-01
Summary: One of the two Y & D films I've seen
I haven't really seen any of the Young and Dangerous movies, just two of the three (Possibly 4 cause of City of Desire or sometin) Those Were the Days and BTBK.

This spin off just deals with the past of Cock/Chicken, of how he has the hots for a girl and how he burned Tim's Newspaper stand(funny scene)Plus running off to Taiwan and does other cewl shiat along the way.

Now as I've said before I haven't seen all 3,567 Young and Dangerous movies. So I'll try my best with this here.

I thought the film was good, you got a good darky Triad story involving Chicken and his past, it helps me alot to learn his past since I haven't seen the rest of the series but the movie does it quite well, you get some fights and you see Jordan have sex with that Taiwanese girl while thinking of Gigi's character. But it was all good, I was really enjoying myself watching this.

I really did enjoy Jordan Chan's work here as Chicken/Cock(I'll just call him Chicken :) ) is really impressive and you know he has this Chicken guy down big time so it must've been easy for him to play this part, the rest of his buds are in this sucker aswell, Micheal Tse, Jerry Lamb and the other guy(forgot his name, so I'm now sinned)all of them did quite well in my opinion, just wish Shu Qi was in it for some eye candy and all we get is that Taiwanese girl and Gigi Leung.
I thought Gigi did a ok job, she hangs out with Chicken for half of her younger years and goes out to marry someone else while Chicken was away...argh! Oh well it was kinda sad when she got shot and Chicken kept on rambing on about names for their kid

Plus you get some cameo's of good'ol Anthony Wong, Sandra Ng, Ekin Cheng and Kristy Yeung I believe aswell (who is Canadian, woohoo!!!!) they are only in it for certain parts, but it was good to see some of the characters from the series :).

in all, a very good spin off to the Young and dangerous series, I haven't seen the other two spin offs but hopefully I can soon. The only one I've seen that is not a spin off is BTBK which I will review soon.

6.8/10 (Jeez, I gotta start reviewing movies that I thought sucked...this ain't gonna be pretty...)
