My series, “Best Gambling Movies of All Time” continues with #21 — a hysterical Asian film titled, “God of Gamblers.” Title and Year:  God of Gamblers (1989) a.k.a. God of Gambling    Director:   Wong Jing Actors:  Chow Yun-fat   Synopsis:  A legendary gambler suffers an accident and loses his memory and must try to regain his supernatural powers over chance.    Among the “best gambling movies” that few have seen is the spectacularly successful film and series, God of Gamblers, released in 1989. Think of Bruce Lee meets Quentin Tarantino, only set inside a casino. This film must be included on any “best gambling movies” list simply because it spawned more hit movies and spinoffs than any film of this genre in history.  The series made a fortune.  It even produced hit songs and soundtrack. All of this took place in Asia, and specifically Hong Kong, where God of Gamblers was conceived, filmed, and released.  Later, the film series caught fire in China, therefore making it the most lucrative gambling movie franchise in history:   God of Gamblers Series: God of Gamblers (1989) — the original All for the Winner (1990) – Stephen Chow is the Saint of Gamblers in this popular God of Gamblers parody. God of Gamblers II (1990) – This film continues where the original God of Gamblers storyline left off. This time, Andy Lau’s character teams up with Stephen Chow’s character from All for the Winner. Chow Yun-fat did not return for this film, but his God of Gamblers character did show up for a brief cameo appearance using archive footage. God of Gamblers III: Back to Shanghai (1991) – A sequel to God of Gamblers II starring Stephen Chow. He accidentally goes back in time to Shanghai in 1937, and tries to figure out how to return to Hong Kong in 1991. God of Gamblers Returns (1994) – Also released under the name God of Gamblers 2, this is the ‘true’ sequel to the original God of Gamblers film, with Chow Yun-fat back to reprise his role as the God of Gamblers. God of Gamblers 3: The Early Stage (1997) – A successful prequel of the original God of Gamblers, starring Leon Lai as Ko Chun. It may be assumed that this is a reboot to the God of Gamblers series because of the inconsistencies with the previously established story of God of Gamblers e.g. Ko Chun and his bodyguard, meet for the very first time in the first film and therefore should not know each other in this prequel. From Vegas to Macau (2014) – This film once again stars Chow Yun-fat as a gifted gambler, though his character and the film’s plot is unrelated to the God of Gamblers series. However, Chow (in a dual role) makes a cameo appearance as the original God of Gamblers, Ko Chun, at the end of the film. The film also ends with a remixed version of the original God of Gamblers theme music. From Vegas to […]
