Mainland, despite restricted by censorship regulations has the capacity to surpass Hk series due its refreshing mis en scene and to an extent attention to detail .

like in Thailand, this song is one of the best foreign hits. Chow Yun Fat!
Tony Jaa is thai from cambodian ethic family, he loves chinese kungfu like other kids of 6 years, practiced kung fu from bruce lee jackie chan, and he is clever to mix kungfu with muay thai or thai ancient boxing. ha ha i'm thai so know this secret.
at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't wanna die
HXM so good in this film , he is not a smoker in real person but even in smoking he delivered it so well , he is not only verytalented at same time so cute, gorgeous and handsome, dont know if theres a part 2 of this great movie , i dont like the ending ,he didnt kill the boss so tin li should not kill him ...

I am Vietnamese and I love this movie a lot, I like this new version . The actors , actress and director with the whole crews really put up the great work of art and talented in this movie. The main characters really know how to deliver this wonderful story of Shanghai Bund more than 6 decades ago. I
Whether this feeling is positive or negative is up to you but it is not a carbon, vamped up version of the old series. Your comments reveal deep ignorance for the oldest history and culture on this globe. Ever since the beginning of civilization, China has pushed forth incredible art/literature/music/etc as has many other cultures. But your failure to recognize this incredible country's cultural triumphs only reveals your ignorance and not the failure of mainland China.
If you think the producation team could "have just taken the old version and made it better with current special effects", you are sadly mistaken. If you treat this as remake of the old, then it will fail. Instead, this is the Chinese production's team reinterpretation of the story and should be treated as such. Actors/Actresses will have their own interpretation of characters. Directors will have their own image of scenes. And together the series put forth will have another feeling altogether
Don't even think I'm done. You have the audacity to not only insult the opinions (OPINIONS!!!!) of people on this forum and tell them what they're thinking is WRONG and force them to accept your opinions as distorted truth. What makes your opinion so superior that we all have to agree with it. We all have a version of the series that we hold dear and there is no reason for us to have the same view or worse yet insult the versions of others.
Wow. Oh wow (Let me go back and read to confirm). Nope, dankaren95 is still a mental. I have never seen someone become so obsessed and enrage over a fricken drama. Why are you so pissed over a remake, when A. it was the Chinese Production Team's money and their choice to do whatever they want with it B. Comparing it exactly with the original one C. Making generalizations on the entire mainland Chinese pop (1+ billion I'd like to add) based on a single drama.
You're not reading my comments correctly. That's why I said the TVB of the 80's and early 90's. Anything before or after that is junk. All the series coming out of China are like books with very nice covers but with unartistic work within. It's doesn't take a genuis to know they are all crap, unless of course your standard is as low as most low-lives in mainland China. No wonder you guys are easily please.
Are you nuts? The ending smart? Extreme emtions? Perhaps to you mainland Chinese standards, not the world! Again, instead of making it better they made it worse by ruining all the purposes of the main scenes such as the wedding and the assasination scenes. Again, China has all the resources but didn't really know how to use them. They should have just taken the old version and made it better with current special effects and put a bigger emphasis on the minor characters. Useless mainlanders.
Let the viewers decide whose a moron? I don't watch it dude, only a few minutes on youtube is enough to evaluate it. It's imbeciles like you who would watch the whole thing. Anyhow, I rest my case. My apologies for enlightening you.
i watch the Chow Yun Fat version's ending again since i haven't seen it for quite some time but that ending wasnt much of an ending but it's just down to matter of opinion and if u just watch a few minutes on youtube and decide what's good and what's bad, i honestly wonder who's the moron here
Just a few MAJOR scenes is enough, naruto6302. It's hard to enjoy watching the weird-looking cast, except the main character, and there's no need to cope with so many garrulous scenes, typical in TV series.
the original ending was so much better and it made more sense. In a nut shell, "The main guy works for the boss and gets engaged to the daughter. He sabatage a deal b/c the boss was doing dirt, and gets hunt down. He goes to the girl, but she refuse to go with him. He hides in a remote town and starts a family. girl changes her mind and finds him only to find that he is happily married. the boss follows her to find where the main guy is kills his new family. He goes back to SH to kill boss
Meanwhile, the main guy's friend marries the girl, cheats on her & treats her badly. They would get a divorce. And main guy's friend sees that the boss is a slimball plans for main guy to kill the boss on a fair term(russian roulette). Main dude tries to get the girl back, but she goes to Pairs. so the two guys are bros again and runs SH's organised crime game. He plans to retire, but gets shot up by French rival. On his last breath, he tells his bro that he was going to Paris to find her.
I completely agree with DanKaren95 below me. I think those three parts wouldn't of had taken very much time out of the series and would have made a large difference in the story telling of his love to the girl. I was saddened that they cut out some of these parts in the newer Shanghai Bund.
Hi there, I remember there was a woman that's fighting the Japanese mafia on Xu Wenqiang's side in a scene before this (which is not shown on the vid) does any of you know who that woman is? thanks
In my own opinion, i dun think the mainland director is unartistic but i think "D" is unartistic enough. if every movie hav 2 follow de old version then there is no need of wasting time reproduce it and copy the old version means plagiarism. if u thinks the director is unartistic enough why dun u go n try.
Why the 3 famous scenes from the 80's version were ruined by this version:
Lik's wedding scene (80's version). This scene shows the profound love of Man-Ceung towards the girl. Because of that, he ill-advisedly interrupted the wedding and risk being killed by the so-called God Father's men. It also shows that even a dignified person like Man-Ceung can do something like that because of love. The mainland Chinese's version had none of such foretold beauty.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! the main guy in the original movie died a more reasonable death, to me. and it seems as tho he got killed by his "friend" and i saw in the clips like the friend was like worried about him or something.
Man-Ceung shot "The God Father" (80's version). This scene illustrates the difficulty that Lik is in. He owes the God Father and Man-Ceung quite evenly. To be righteous, he had to fair to both of them. As a result, their fate is decided upon a single bullet. The mainland Chinese version's emphasis was about something else, perhaps about how to govern with a fist. Ha...ha....!
Man-Ceung assassination (80's version). This scene, again, has to do with the love of Man-Ceung towards the girl. Because of love, he chooses to relinquish everything to follow the girl. Due to bad luck, he was killed in the process. Man-Ceung's death hints that Lik will end up with nothing but money and power. The mainland Chinese's version was simply meaningless.
Having explained all that, do you mainland Chinese understand it at all?
dude i have seen the old one, but this one is very good too.....i think most people would say this one is better than the old one... that's what i think.
If you read my previous comments & still think the new version is better, then you along with all the mainland Chinese have bad taste. You guys know nothing about entertainment. If it wasn't for TVB, no one other than Chinese would be watching Chinese series. Thanks to you mainland Chinese, many of them are departing from such nonsense. Again, none of the series coming out of China or Taiwan were ever good. All the able people are busy doing movies, leaving only the idiots to do the series.
dude a lot of people like the new SH tan... what is wrong with that? and they acted extremely well.... amazing to me!
they all acted seriously and manly... unlike HK series...mostly goofy and un-serious. even in the old SH Tan... the main charactor is not man enough and some of it's lines and ways are styles of western cinema(copy western ways)... not real chinese. thats why i like this more and i think this new SH TAN is better.
Goofy? Dude, it was made in 1980 at a very low budget. What it lacks in visual effects it makes up in the acting. Chow Yun Fat is by far a better actor than anyone in China. You mentioned the script and that it was bad. Trust me dude, nothing is worst than what's coming out of mainland China. Again, stick with labor and leave the art to Hollywood and TVB of the 80's and 90's. The TVB now is damn too mainland Chinese.
I have a friend who is a Mainland Chinese exchange student in college. He said that CCTV in China is owned by the government and tries to brainwash people. They people who like this or any of Chinese remake, like Condor Hero with Liu Yi-Fei, is brainwashed. Can't believe I actually bought that series. The acting was over exaggerated. No real feeling at all. I like how he killed her father during the wedding rather than later though.
When you said a lot of people, are you implying the people in mainland China or the rest of the world? If you read my comments written in 3 parts, you will understand that the new version may be better in looks, but it ruined many major points in the story, particularly the wedding & the assination scenes. Again, the artistic level of mainland China is very low. Perhaps it is because they are still developing. Besides this film, they have also ruined the Condor Hero Trilogy several times.
I like the new SH bund (tan) version, the acting is good and exciting, very good, but about the ending, it is pretty touching but i thought they could do better but the whole version is good though if people actually follow, to tell the truth, i kept watching it cuz i thought HXM is hot! some part took longer than it should but other than that nothing's wrong...i think
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I tried to watch it last night only to be reminded of why I had to skip to the major scenes when it first came out. It was too damn garrulous. Like all TV series, they are lengthy for the purpose of making more money in advertisment, givinng existence to hundreds of pointless scences. The main character is good looking but his acting is millions of notches below Chow Yun-Fat. The rest of the cast is about 1.3 billion notches below, which means only a hand full of people in China can act.

What the fuck did the mainland Chinese do? They ruined greatest classic Asian gangster movie of all time! They combined the 3 famous scenes of the 80's version into one STUPID scene, which defeats the theme of the story.
Stick with corruption and communism, you DUMB FUCK!
aww it is sad. I dont like the ending !! I thought the 80's ending was soo much better. Dissappointed that china version left out lots of wen qiang and cheng cheng parts after her killed her father!
agreed...the old man was starting to piss me off anyway, but since Huang got in a fight with Ding Li earlier this episode, i guess it came as a shock to Ding Li because he shot his friend. sort of like a reaction.
ex: your friend is shot, you immediately want revenge.

I have a friend who is a Mainland Chinese exchange student in college. He said that CCTV in China is owned by the government and tries to brainwash people. They people who like this or any of Chinese remake, like Condor Hero with Liu Yi-Fei, is brainwashed. Can't believe I actually bought that series. The acting was over exaggerated. No real feeling at all. I like how he killed her father during the wedding rather than later though.

When you said a lot of people, are you implying the people in mainland China or the rest of the world? If you read my comments written in 3 parts, you will understand that the new version may be better in looks, but it ruined many major points in the story, particularly the wedding & the assination scenes. Again, the artistic level of mainland China is very low. Perhaps it is because they are still developing. Besides this film, they have also ruined the Condor Hero Trilogy several times.

I like the new SH bund (tan) version, the acting is good and exciting, very good, but about the ending, it is pretty touching but i thought they could do better but the whole version is good though if people actually follow, to tell the truth, i kept watching it cuz i thought HXM is hot! some part took longer than it should but other than that nothing's wrong...i think

I tried to watch it last night only to be reminded of why I had to skip to the major scenes when it first came out. It was too damn garrulous. Like all TV series, they are lengthy for the purpose of making more money in advertisment, givinng existence to hundreds of pointless scences. The main character is good looking but his acting is millions of notches below Chow Yun-Fat. The rest of the cast is about 1.3 billion notches below, which means only a hand full of people in China can act.

What the fuck did the mainland Chinese do? They ruined greatest classic Asian gangster movie of all time! They combined the 3 famous scenes of the 80's version into one STUPID scene, which defeats the theme of the story.
Stick with corruption and communism, you DUMB FUCK!

aww it is sad. I dont like the ending !! I thought the 80's ending was soo much better. Dissappointed that china version left out lots of wen qiang and cheng cheng parts after her killed her father!

This part made me mad how can ding li do this to his bro, without him he would be nothing. but as long as he took the old man with him im happy.

agreed...the old man was starting to piss me off anyway, but since Huang got in a fight with Ding Li earlier this episode, i guess it came as a shock to Ding Li because he shot his friend. sort of like a reaction.
ex: your friend is shot, you immediately want revenge.
