Tragic Hero - Chow Yun Fat (1987) - Stanley Military Cemetery

Tragic Hero is the sequel to Rich and Famous that was, for some reason, released before the movie it was supposed to follow. I understand that both movies were filmed at the same time in 1986 but a decision was made to release the second movie first, and so Rich and Famous became a prequel instead.

The movie follows the continuing saga of two adopted brothers, Yung (Alex Man) and Kwok (Andy Lau) and their old triad boss, Chai (Chow Yun Fat). Rich and Famous shows the rise of Yung as an unhinged wannabe gangster, whereas this movie has him established as one of the head guys within a rival triad run by Boss Chu (Ko Chun Hsiung).

I should mention, in case you haven't read the posts for the other film, that this movie came to my attention following a post on Gwulo where someone had posted an image of Tsing Bik Villa (aka Green Jade) - a mansion that featured extensively in Kill a Dragon. In the image it was painted blue and blown up for a movie production and then subsequently demolished for redevelopment. The film involved was finally identified (with the help of regular commentor, Rodney) as this one and you can now see for yourself because it is still currently available on Youtube (until it isn't).

The film begins with a funeral scene for another one of the triads bosses where everyone attends to show their respects. This was filmed at Stanley Military Cemetery, no attempts made to hide its name or the distinctive shape of the Commonwealth military grave stones.
