About Mahjong Dragon
North Quick Hands, a gambler, killed a gang in revenge for his friend, for which he was sentenced to prison. South Tin-lone waited for Quick Hand's release, so that he might be recruited into the gang. But Quick Hands refused. Meanwhile, Sau Tin, a Hong Kong policewoman addicted to gambling, went to Dongguan to seek a husband. She helped Quick Hands to leave China by arranging a fake marriage, as he promised to teach her some gambling tricks. South Tin-lone and his gang followed Quick Hands to Hong Kong and a series of fights ensued...
Directed by Corey Yuen, David Lai Tai-Wai, Jeffrey Lau Chun-Wai, Mahjong Dragon leans on a strong ensemble — Vincent Zhao Wenzhuo, Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, Blackie Ko Sau-Leung — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1997.
