Just Heroes - David Chiang (1989) - Sai Kung Waterfront

Just Heroes is a 1989 gun-fu triad story directed by John Woo and Wu Ma (and an uncredited David Chiang). It was a charitable production done for the HK Screen Directors Guild in support of Chang Cheh, who wanted money to make a new film. 

As you would expect, a large number of his former proteges, such as David Chiang, Ti Lung, Chen Kuen Tai and the like, provided their services and the cast is really a who's who of 1970s era actors and crew filling multiple cameo roles. It even has a serious role played by Stephen Chow as the crazy, but loyal to the end, Jacky.

The story revolves around the assassination of a beloved triad boss (because triad bosses are nice? Yeah right) and the election of his successor. But first the culprit(s) must be found and brought to justice. But who could be responsible?

The film opens on the Sai Kung waterfront as the gang turn up to destroy the smuggling operation of some rivals. The location was a piece of newly reclaimed land on which now stands the Marine Police East Division base.
