From Infernal Affairs to God of Gamblers: 10 of Andy Lau’s top movies
We look back at Hong Kong’s top box office draw from 1985-2005, and the man who has starred in more than 150 movies
It is impossible to gauge who is the most successful of the “Four Heavenly Kings” of Canto-pop, a divine grouping that includes Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Jackie Cheung and Leon Lai. Record sales and box office takings alone do not tell the whole story. But Lau is surely the most critically acclaimed of the quartet.
By 2000, Lau had already accrued nearly 300 awards for his music – which earned him a Guinness World Record for “Most Awards Won by a Canto-pop Male Artist” – and when it comes to cinema, his achievements are equally impressive. Lau is not only tremendously popular among casual cinema-goers – he was Hong Kong’s top box office draw from 1985-2005 – he is also highly rated by critics, winning the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor three times and Taiwan’s Golden Horse Award for Best Leading Actor twice.
A man with a prodigious work ethic, Lau has starred in more than 150 movies. We look back at his illustrious career and select 10 of his very best films.
