YesAsia Editorial Description

Heroic bloodshed director Chang Cheh changes gears with Young People, a youth drama set in 1960s Hong Kong. David Keung stars as a drummer in a music band who desires peace between the rival factions at his school. Di Lung is the captain of the basketball team, who looks down upon the peace loving kids, and is a rival to Chan Koon Tai, as the martial arts captain. The three men are cornerstones of three separate beliefs and outlets of youth, and it's only through perseverance - and a few knockdown, free-for-all street fights - that harmony and friendship can be restored. Chang Cheh brings his celebrated themes of righteousness and male-bonding to Young People, but substitutes swinging sixties do-gooders for the usual blood-and-guts martial arts masters of his kung-fu epics. Featuring an iron triangle of Shaw Brothers leading men, Young People is an unexpected film from the master of heroic bloodshed.

Product Information

導演:張徹
Director:Chang Cheh

張徹導演一改血腥暴力的動作風格,拍青春校園音樂電影。青春校園戀事多,國術組何泰﹙陳觀泰﹚的女友楊戀﹙陳依齡﹚乃校花,招來同校體育健將林達﹙狄龍﹚的追求,林更時對何予以譏諷,二人關係漸趨惡劣。另一方面,出身武術世家的音樂組組長洪衛﹙姜大衛﹚見隊員士氣低落,率隊員回家並教授武功,士氣重振。林達為了楊戀,竟在練跑時與何大打出手,幸得洪衛將兩人分開並勸降,二人冰釋前嫌。在校際小型賽車大賽,林達與何泰二人報恩協力助洪奪標,最終獲勝。張徹成功將拳擊動作,化成舞蹈、藍球、長跑、賽車等體育活動,充滿青春活力,叫人耳目一新,更有國際級青春歌手陳美齡在片中高歌,悅耳動聽。

Not just the king of kung-fu , Chang Cheh was a versatile director . Young People is his attempt a a teen drama and – looking at it now – it harks back to a more innocent and cornball age . But the charm is its cornices . The longstanding rivalry between a music club and a sports club is compounded by their leaders’ mutual interest in a girl . The film is also notable for it’s fledgling lead actors who would become huge Shaw stars as their career progressed .

Big 3 in Charming + Enjoyable film Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Nice to see the big 3, David Chiang, Ti Lung and Chen Kuan Tai square off each other in harmless way. Other usual Chang gang get lots to do including Bolo(Heroic Ones) and Wu Man. No blood bath or corrupt higher ups. Just sit back and enjoy a film from the more innocent 70s. Amazing looking transfer the sound mix is original one. Also look for Fu Sheng as an extra,(he plays drums next to David Chiang). The songs are great and nice sounding. Chen Kuan Tai steals the show as man who only says 2 syllabals at the same time.

David Chiang and Ti Lung ...Rocks !!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Any film with the "gorgeous duo" is always enjoyable for me! David Chiang and Ti Lung are as handsome and charismatic as ever...
David Chiang...the Leader of the Music/Drama Club, Ti Lung...Captain of the Basketball Team, Chen Kuan Tai...Leader of the Martial Arts Club are school rivals. See the groups fight, joke and later team up together. Great music by Agnes Chen, this film has alittle of everything...go-cart racing, kung fu, music, basketball and basically life in general. This film shows the value of friendships.

Young People Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
This is definitely a flop for director Chang Cheh despite the great cast ( David Chiang, Ti Lung, Chen Kuan Tai..). The story line is too simplified and bored...However, the songs by Agnes Chan are still memorable ( Circle Games, You got a friend )...
