Lulu loves to watch Hongkong triad (黑社會)movies. Those classy stuff like the A Better Tomorrow series and my all time favourite Running Out Of Time [which wasnt't that triad-ish now that Lulu thinks about it] to the flaky stuff like Young and Dangerous, Lulu loves watching them.I really can't explain why, especially since Lulu's the sort who gets squirmish and closes her eyes during fight scenes.
These triad guys - there's the good type, and the bad type.The bad guys have no honor code. Just the greed code.
Sometimes, bad gangster beats up the hero.
But hero, being the tough hero, is not easy to crack. Whack him left, right, center, he won't squeal.
So, what do these honor-less bad gangster do?
They capture the loved one of the hero, and start intimidating her, maybe even rough her up a few times.
Whilst the hero can take the pain of being beaten countless times, him to hear his loved one being tortured.... argh.. it is infinetely more painful and tormenting compared to having to take the beating himself.
The hero is left in a difficult position.
Does the bad gangster win?
In the hongkie movies, the hero usually wins.
But the fight is long.
And it is tough.
But many times, the hero gets help from his friends.
His loyal friends.

This post was just something Lulu thought you probably didn't know about her, and would like to know.
It has no bearings to this report

ooo.. i also love young & dangerous.. that's a classic..
a fiting correlation befitting your latent potential as a future suspense director of blockbusters.
Only this time the good guys and bad guys are kinda tricky since the alien within is like venom so beware
lulu, very shrewd of you to connect your fav triad shows to the news you gave us in the end. i understand. :)
btw i too like triad or gangsters movies, especially those that are very suspenseful and gave you an unexpected twist to the ending.
From young, our Asian religious teaching and culture taught us that the "good" always triumph over "evil". Unlike in movies, the director is always in charge but in reality, the powerful "seeems" to be in charge but they will always face the Almighty director above or the hell below. In cosmic law, the good always prevail and the evil punished.
