Turning Point - Laughing Gor 2009

Laughing (Michael Tse Tin Wah) is supposedly an undercover police officer who has infiltrated a triad organization. However, before he became a police officer, Laughing was a member of the triads and worked for the big boss man No. 1 (Anthony Wong). No. 1 was very good to Laughing, and Laughing looked up to No. 1 as his elder brother. In order to strengthen his business and illegal activities, No. 1 arranges for Laughing to join the Police Force and become his mole to gather information about the plans and counter-plans for operations by the police.

Laughing graduated from Police Academy with outstanding results but before he was assigned to a post as a police officer, his 'bad boy' image attracted the attention of the Head of District Anti-Triad Squad, Superintendent Sin (Yuen Biao) who arranges his assignment as an undercover cop to infiltrate the mob syndicate.

Laughing is now a 'double' mole. No. 1 was happy with this turn of events as Laughing was assigned to infiltrate the mob of his triad rival sibling (Francis Ng). To further complicate the situation, Laughing falls in love with Francis's sister, Karen (Fala Chen).

How will Laughing contend with the law, the triad brotherhood, and his love affair? No matter which camp he sides with, he is doomed to be a traitor to the other. Which path will Laughing ultimately choose to follow?
“Laughing Gor” is somewhat of a phenomenon in Hong Kong- just so you know how this movie came to be made. A character on the recently-concluded TVB series “Emergency Unit”, “Laughing Gor” was a senior triad member who was revealed in later episodes to be an undercover for the police. His death in episode 22 caused an uproar among fans- it attracted more than 120,000 users to his Facebook group, even an application where users could lay virtual offerings for him- and not even his comeback at the last episode could appease them.

 

Turning Point

So it was decided that “Laughing Gor” would get his very own movie, and hence “Turning Point”, a prequel of how he came to be a police officer under deep cover in the triads. The movie itself is somewhat history in the making- since when have you heard of a supporting character on a TVB series so popular it gets its own movie, complete with heavyweights Anthony Wong, Francis Ng and Eric Tsang. Just as notable is how this movie managed to attract Shaw Brothers to produce its first movie after a 7-year dormancy.
