I'm one of those Y&D fans from the start. And I really did try to watch the movie with enjoyment. But point ot be said: IT WAS SO BORING! Without a doubt, Y&D has certainetly lost its freshness. Frankly, I expected a lot more.

In this sixth installment to the series, Jordan Chan's character "Chicken" was brought back. That was possibly the one good thing about the whole movie! After his abscense in the last 2 Y&D, it was really nice to see Chicken back in action again. Also, this time the movie made Ekin Cheng's character "Chan Ho Nam" focuse on a romantic sub-plot. Aside from those two big names, there was all the other usual characters you would expect including a few faces that came back from the dead (Micheal Tse Tin Wah, Jason Chu Wing Tong, Gigi Lai Chi & probably a few others).

This time, now that the Hung Hing boys have grown into men, Chicken has gone to Japan to marry the daughter of a Japanese gang. While he gets use to the adjustments, conflicts start when there's debate over who should take over in a Taiwanese gang. Of course, Chicken was mentioned for the position and that's when all the back-stabbing starts amoung the three different gangs. The debate also mirrored the Taiwanese political situation with the election and all the foul play between politics and gangs. All of which, lead to the death of Chicken's cousin and the rape of his wife. Finally,Chicken calls buddy, Ho Nam to help him out. When Ho Nam arrives, they work out a plan to decieve the decievers. Also, that's when Ho Nam found a girl who looks exactly like Smarite... needless to say, that led nowhere! And then director, Andrew Lau delivered a weak ending.

This film was hardly watchable. It looked more like a political story then a gangster one. The action scenes in this was hard to spot, and with so many characters coming back from the dead, was hard to tell who from who. There was a sub-plot that lead no where. Althoug viewers have grown attached to Smartie, bringing her back didn't really do her any good. And then there was Shu Qi, who was more annoying then ever, turning into some nagging hag! I'm really starting to think that the creative chemistry is long dead after Y&D 3. Although #4 was alright, #5 and #6 proves that with age, things rot! Even brining back Jordan Chan didn't help all that much either!

Everything was very tyical and not entertaining. Andrew Lau seemed to have been lazy after working on Stormriders, since the plot went nowhere.. everything was recycled,reused, and reduced. Those are the 3 Rs to sum up the film.
