Trailer: Chow Yun Fat Raises The Stakes In FROM VEGAS TO MACAU II
Chow Yun Fat is back in more gambling action this Chinese New Year in Wong Jing's From Vegas To Macau II. Last year's first installment was my personal favourite of Hong Kong's holiday offerings. This time out the action is transplanted to Thailand, with Nick Cheung, Shawn Yue and Carina Lau stepping into Nic Tse and Chapman To's shoes.
Produced by Andrew Lau and presented by Media Asia, Shaw Brothers and Bona Film Group, the sequel appears to have upped the ante, while maintaining the same combination of action, humour and gambling escapades that made the first film so winningly nostalgic. We now have a host of stills to share with you, together with an official synopsis, the film's poster and the trailer, all of which you will find below. From Vegas To Macau II opens in Hong Kong on 18 February.
Synopsis:
After foiling the criminal plans of the international money-laundering syndicate DOA, our hero from Macau, Ken (CHOW Yun Fat) is ready to sit back and enjoy life. Ken's plan for a calm existence comes to a halt when his protégé, Vincent (Shawn YUE) joins Interpol and asks for his master's help in arresting the real mastermind of DOA, Ms. Aoi. Though initially refusing to help, Ken eventually decides to work with Interpol again, as he is nearly killed by Aoi in retaliation for the destructive act he did to DOA.Mark (Nick CHEUNG), the Chief Accountant of DOA and a highly intelligent guy, betrays Aoi. He steals the dirty money amounting to USD15 billion from DOA via the internet and flees to Thailand with his daughter Yan (Angela WANG). Aoi sends numerous hit men to hunt him down. Ken and the Interpol are also after him as he will be a material witness against DOA.In Thailand, Ken and Vincent get into a fierce wit and fist game with the hit men to save Mark. The sly Mark slips through Ken's hands several times before he is finally captured. Mark eventually allies himself with Ken to work against Aoi. However, new complications arise when the love of Ken's life, Molly (Carina LAU) appears to be in league with his enemies...It all comes together in an ultimate battle of life and death at an altitude of 30,000 feet in "The Dragon's Palace", the sky castle of DOA. This will be one of the biggest gambles in Ken's life. Who will emerge as the ultimate winner?
