Infernal Affairs 2

Post by Mikey_ »

Has anybody seen it? I was left rather confused... In fact, I didn't like it because of that. What was going on? Is it a pre-quel to IA 1?

Ah, no wonder the characters looked so familiar. It just seemed to me that the two main characters don't know how to speak Chinese. They hardly said a thing, but when there was an English-spoken part, they spoke fluidly and with confidence.

IA2 is a prequel to Infernal Affairs as it talks about how Andy and Tony's characters ended up in their positions in IA. IA3 is a sequel to IA1, but it's WAY more confusing than IA2 (which I personally didn't find all that confusing). IA3 is truly confusing....lol

Perhaps its because I couldn't figure out who in IA2 was playing Tony's and Andy's characters. I guess the half-brother of Ngai is Tony? Maybe I should watch it again AFTER re-watching IA1...

but you saw IA1 ?

coz there and here edison chen plays the young andy lau-figure, and shawn yue takes tony leung's role...

IA3 has 2 plots:
the first starts 6 months before tony's death, and focuses more on his relationship with kelly chen
the second is a direct sequel to IA1. whats happening with andy lau...

Too bad IA3 isn't in the US yet... at least not that I know of.

Contrai, yeah, I saw IA1 ... but it was a very, very long time ago. Hardly remember its details now...

Mikey, IA3 should be out on VCD or DVD in US by now. I downloaded it like a month ago (shh! :wink: ), and it was the retail version.

No kidding!

Especially when a Chinese movie is dubbed in a poor English voice-over (like many of the old Jackie Chan movies)

You should hear a Hk movie dubbed in german, it's simply awful.
Only in the last years we get a decent german synchro, all movies before that sounded like porn.

Anyway, i watched IA 1 some days ago for the 1st time, and i'm quite impressed.
