View Full Version : Infernal Affairs
Hi,
Just watched it, great film I must say! I thought the music really suited the events that occured.
I heard that the americans may be remaking it, :brickwall I hope they don't spoil it.
Basically the film, is about the triads and police fighting each other, there is a triad mole in the police, and a police mole in the triads.
Sad ending :(
Yes an excellent movie......hope they don't do a "Get Carter" on it. :suspect:
What is a "Get Carter"? Apart from being a film :confused:
They are currently filming Infernal Affairs 2, which is a prequel, and then they are going to do IA3, which is a sequel to the first one.

Get Carter classic film with a sad ending that got a Hollywood remake (twice infact) both with happy endings.

Heard this as well, with Brad Pitt picked for the lead. There are a few odd cases here and there where the Hollywood remake is actually better than the original (COUSINS, for example), but judging from their track record, best not to get our hopes up. Can't imagine Brad Pitt having anywhere near as much depth as Tony Leung, if that's whose character he's supposed to play. Andy Lau? Maybe.
great film, one of my favourite cop movies of all time
Yes i thought this was a great movie too. Really enjoyed it, still to watch the alternate ending though.

Watched this for a second time the other night and I had forgotten how good it was. HK haven't been producing the goods recently but this definitely hit the spot - better than the cop movies Hollywood are producing.

It's not much, and definitely not better than the way they chose to end the movie. I'm not even sure why they bothered to include it on the DVD, other than maybe adding some marketing hype.

Because one's the HK ending and the other is the mainland China ending.

Didn't realize that, Jimmyboy. Thanks for the info. Now that you've told me, I can definitely guess which ending goes with which part of China. ;)

Excellent i ordered it from hkflix a couple of weeks ago. :D

Does anyone know the name of the song in the ending credits? I think the name is in chinese, which of course i can't type or read so how do i find it!?

I think both endings are Kack ... if only alan mak had the balls to say to andrew lau "I went the lift ending and if you don't like it I'll never work with you again ... you talentless hack of a "director". :D
"Lift ending" meaning it should have ended when it faded to black in the lift ... but it didn't ...

Always a good way to get the director to listen to you :D
I think the ending song is called Wu Jian Dao (but dont quote me, thats what my mp3 says)
another great tune from the film is the song that plays during
The scene where Anthony Wong gets thrown off the roof and when Tony gets shot outside the lift at the end.
only way i could find them was to buy the OST:|

In case anybody in the Edinburgh area hasn't got the dvd, it is to be shown at this years film festival. Good news, but what it means is that MetroTartan are making a big push with Far East cinema, currently an "Extreme Asia" selection of movies is doing the rounds of select UGC multiplexes. There is already a second wave announced for next year, including Infernal Affairs.
Going by their patchy record on their DVD releases I think that whilst nice to see these films in the mainstream cinema, it maybe doesn't seem such good news on the DVD front, unless the overall quality threshhold is raised?
bah!
The OST did not even have Wu Jian Dao on it!
Splinter
15-07-2003, 18:50
Any chance you guys with the OST could tell me the name of the track which plays during this scene? (providing it's on the tracklist)
When Andy Lau uses the dead inspector's mobile to call Tony Leung - Tony's sitting on a bus
I don't have the film anymore, so its a bit hard to check :)
Wu Jian Dao (also the mandarin name of the movie) isn't on the OST. Do you mean the ending song that both Andy and Tony sing? Its track 3 of this album. (http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1002445395/aid-46/section-music/code-c/) or Andy Lau's album (http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1002455702/aid-9/section-music/code-c/)
What is with all these actors also being singers?
I don't want to have to *cough* buy *cough* these CDs :D
I can't really type these characters into the kazaa search box.
Thats the way the hk movie/tv/music industry is, they nearly always pan out into other areas (with mixed results). Andy Lau is one of the biggest (if not the) singers there but he started out in acting. Tony did tv yonks ago and then went into movies, and then music.

Also the film had at least a couple of scenes/lines that were identical to Hard Boiled, also starring Tony leung undercover here too...anyone else notice this?

Thanks kcxdev :thumbs:
I was watching ITV last night, and Entertainment Now! was on, and I was very suprized to see that they showed Infernal Affairs 2!!!
Well, they showed them filming, I saw Eric Tsang shooting a gun, but it was only for about 20 seconds, they also mentioned the remake with Brad Pitt, which is why i suppose they showed it.

Just re-watched this last night and there was a bit that bothered me cos it just didn't make sense...
when sam's men are filling in their forms (sam's way of finding the mole) and the stupid one can't spell 'bodyguard' - well just before this you catch a glimpse of two women undressing in the same room :norty: - why?
Weren't they in a strip club or something?
EDIT
Just watched it and one of the girl says "no, it's not like that, this is how you do it", talking about dancing So I guess you got your answer :norty:

Just because a film is from Hong Kong doesn't mean it's under a contractory obligation for stylish shoot outs. Not everybody wants to be John Woo.
I'm sorry but :lol:
It was never an action film, so how can you hold that against it?
Were you disappointed Finding Nemo did not have shoot outs?
Can someone pls explain how....

I'll be honest and say I haven't read through the previous posts so hope I'm not treading toes here... but:
Thought this was a very well made piece of cinema. Performance, production and direction all great, but was it just me or did the conclusion seem a tad predictable?
The fact that Infernal Affairs does have a lot in common with Mann's Heat (in terms of an elaborate Cat and Mouse game) shouldn't automatically qualify it as a stunning film - which is what its been lauded as by many.
Or maybe I'm just being cynical... :(

Nothing, it's a remake of LA Takedown.
sammyjankis
10-03-2004, 10:05
I think Heat's great but again, not that fantastic - the infamous shoot-out is supurb, but I don't think it's a yardstick, just a popular and evenly considered piece of mainstream crime cinema - hence it being used as common shorthand in the Infernal Affairs reviews.
LA Takedown is much better. I was refering more to the scenario that Infernal Affairs used; though the reverse-reverse nature of it was nice - something distilled very effectively in the exchange between Sam and the Police Chief in the station.
But hey, duplicity/(dis)honour amoung thieves is hardly new grounds for cinema :)
(Oh and we all know that Mann's originals tend to be better than any remakes etc, even if he does or doesn't do them. Manhunter anyone? :clap: )

i think one of the major reasons that IF is held is in such high regard among HK film fans was that it was a pretty stunning return to form for the Hong Kong film industry which had been in the doldrums for quite awhile as the majority of films that were being released around the time were pretty ropey compared to years gone by,
when i first watched affairs it was like a slap in the face as to see such a good film would previously have meant watching a film that was made years ago,
one film doesnt mean a fasion but with its sequals and a few other films that have been produced, the quality level has deff been rasied in my opinion.............and cop films are back in vogue
:D

Good but not great and although the music was really nice and suited the tone and atmosphere of the film I really hate how often Asian films tend to signpost exactly how you are supposed to feel at a moment in the film with heavy-handed musical cues. Every love scene became just swept away by the same tune (though to be fair it was a nice piece of music).
Great performances although I think it was a shame that they didn't focus more on the psychological effects of being undercover and what it does to your personality. Although it may seem hugely OT a book that kind of deals with something like this is 'A Scanner Darkly' by Philip K. Dick which, although SF, is similar in spirit to this film.
Cirrus888

The most amazing aspect of this film was how on earth did Andrew Lau (not Andy Lau ... although his acting is always sub-par to his co-stars) manage to get involved with something this good ... makes me think I didn't dream about how good "to Live and die in TST" was (I saw it like 10 yrs ago and no DVD release to date).
Andrew Lau is probably HK's most prolific director churning out high Budget movies (for HK that is) 2-3 a year. He has directed about 20 and they are all crap apart from the above two ... he is a former cinematographer turn director .... should stick to cinematography just like peter pau ... :D

I have just watched a rental of this. It isn't quite as good as I hoped but it was enjoyable.
I did notice a couple of dropouts in the audio (both DD and DTS tracks).
finally being moved to the World Cinema Forum....
How odd! I just watched this for the first time. Very enjoyable.
What is it about asian cinema which likes to kill the lead characters :D
What are Infernal Affairs 2 and 3 like?

26-11-2004, 12:22
From what I've read and I could be wrong, the 5 hour cut on disc 7 and 8 is not by the directors but by Megastar. They basically watched the film a few times and decided which bits to leave out.

26-11-2004, 19:12
I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm disagreeing with the part about it being 5 hours long but not literally the 3 films put together (in chronilogical order of course).
That link you posted doesn't mention they cut/left anything out?
Thanks btw.
City Hunter
26-11-2004, 19:57
Hey I never said I was completely sure did I but the fact that it's not been created by the directors is silly and a bit pointless. Also if it is 300mins then they will have to leave a few things out as that will be shorter then the acutal running time of all 3 films put together.
Hunter. :)

I bought the R3 from CDwow mainly as I quite like Hong Kong movies and flashy shoot outs. Of course there are not many flashy shoot outs, but was I disappointed...No I really liked it, I thought it was really excellent.
In fact liked it so much I have just ordered parts 2 + 3 from CD Wow.
One of the best films of the year IMO. Two fine actors.

Actually I'd imagine it's the same as watching discs - 3+1+5 but I'd beg to differ it would be kind of cool to see it like this.
Although in honesty I doubt I'd sit through it in one go, the films work fine as 3 separate films.
I'll be getting the last 2 Tartan releases for the English subtitled extras.
p.s - Is there any news if the unseen footage for Infernal Affairs will have English subs? and what it contains?

Ummmm. A lot of places are being vague on this account. I read on a couple of sites that it WAS re-edited into one long movie (with added scenes and removed scenes) much like Coppola did to The Godfather for it's television marathon.
Although to mention the 2 films in the same breath makes me scoff a little. ;)
EDIT: I was reading the Limited Editions thread and it mentioned that the combined film is a 5 hour re-edit.

If you tell me what was wrong with the IA3 audio I can check.
I think in several scenes, the dialogue is out of synch when the actors are speaking. And it was filmed in synch sound I think.
this may have already been said in the thread havent read it all but...wu jian dao (or however it's spelt) is the original name of the film, and also the lowest level of Buddhist hell.
Only watched it the once, and was disappointed but i feel it may be a grower.
dones anyone know if the audio on IA3 has been fixed?
I purchased this about a month ago - no problems with audio sync which was spot on throughout the film. Looks like the earlier problem has been fixed.

Got it from DDDHouse.com
The boxset is unlikely to be available in any other region coding. I think there's only 3000 of this limited boxset. Honestly, it's not a must-get. Overpriced for its quality in DVD and packaging. My pics just happened to make the boxset looked appealing. :D

05-01-2005, 12:25
Is it really worth £59 upwards for mostly packaging and non english subbed extras?
I know lots of people go gaga over limited editions but except for the 3 movie edited long version there is not much else is there?
:)
I'm not quite sure why I got mine, I couldn't care less about LE's really. I think I did it for the chronological cut and new transfer. Oh I remember, I thought that I could sell it a a profit later on and pick up the R2's. Not at all bad if you look at it that way, did the same with the Oldboy UE which turned out to be real crap.

A bit o/t but does anyone know what has happened to the UK theatrical release of IA3. I heard that it was supposed to be released at the end of last year.
I hope Tartan don't pull the 'Dead or Alive: Final' scenario where the third part of a trilogy takes an eternity to get released on DVD after the quick releases of the first 2.
Actually in DOA's case, the 3rd part STILL hasn't been released :eek:

As mentioned previously in this thread, my HK copy bought about two months ago has no synch problem whatsoever so the problem with earlier discs has apparently been addressed.

I'd rather not take the risk. Besides anyone who's waited this long would be a bit dense to buy the HK release now instead of waiting to see what Tartan can come up.

IA3 appears to have gone awol anyway.
Looks like the western distributors are doing their usual trick of preventing the sale of the R3 disc near the cinema release date of said film in the west.

You can't get the individual Megastar release of IA3 at the moment?

I got round to watching this at the weekend after it had been sitting on my shelf for the last 4-5 months and I was quite impressed with it. Great story, great performance from Tony Leung.
Went out and bought the second one today, but unlike the first one, I'll actually watch this at the weekend. @D

I finally got my copy; very impressed with this. Now must watch 2 and 3. The DTS track is terrific if a little over-the-top.

I recently bought Infernal Affairs 2 from cd-wow. The cantonese 5.1 track is out of sync with the image. Is this a usual fault with the R0 2 Disc from MEI AH? It doesn't really put me off, as I'm reading the subs first, but I would like a copy that is in sync. Should I send it back to the wow?
BTW I thought it was as good as the first one, if not better. Eric Tsang and Anthony Wong are both superlative.

Joining this thread a bit late, but got my Infernal Affairs Ltd Edition Boxset through the post this morning.
Quite impressed with how it looks on my DVD shelf, a little like the Monolith out of Space 2001
It was a blind buy, as I haven't seen any of the movies yet, but I've heard loads about them, so hopefully money well spent

Watched the first film as well. The dialogue and image is also slightly out of sync. Is it me or have I got duff copies?
anyone affair that the US remake (The Departed) now no longer seems to star brad pitt but Leo DeCaprio, Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon, is directed by Sorcsese and is about Irish american gangs in Boston.
Sounds positively awful!!

Jack Nicholson is rumoured to be in the movie as well.
