Once Upon A Time In Hong Kong 金錢帝國：追虎擒龍 (2021) Review
On more than one occasion, Crippled Ho (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) addressed Louis Koo’s Hank Chan as a “young man” in Once Upon A Time In Hong Kong <金錢帝國：追虎擒龍> (not to be confused with Felix Chong’s upcoming big-budget similarly English-titled crime thriller <金手指> starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai).
