Online Review: From Vegas to Macau
This film released in 2014 which is directed
by Wong Jing黃晶. It is the fourth installment of the
God of Gamblers 賭神 series.
The Plot
There are 2 main characters in the film
including Ken石一堅 Chow Yun-fat and Cool晒冷 Nicholas Tse. The police forces including China, Hong Kong and
Macau region planed to collect the crime evidence of Mr. Ko who is the director
of a multinational company called DOA by settling undercover cops into the
company. DOA is a company which do money laundering for the international
gangs. The police forces put 2 undercover polices into DOA and one of them was being
penetrated and finally died. The dead police is the son of Benz and Cool’s
brother. A hidden camera was being implanted into his eye and the crime
evidence of Mr. Ko was being recorded. Before he died, he hided his eye into a
teddy bear. Therefore, Mr. Ko sent killers to take back the eye and they broke
into Ken’s house. The police forces asked Ken to help them to catch Mr. Ko by
set a trap on him. Finally the daughter of Ken gave the eye to the police and
Mr. Ko was being arrested.
Culture identity
The most obvious aspect of culture identity
of this film are the foul languages and words with imply meanings that only
Hong Kong people know. For example, ding, on dog and tart. In one of the scenes,
牛牛(Chapman To) spoke to Ken’s daughter. “I am here to give you the
teddy bear, Why don’t buy give me a tart? (山長水遠過黎比隻啤啤熊你,
請我食件撻都得掛) This sentence has a imply meaning which is sexually offensive and most of the Hong Kong peoples know what it means.
