  • Editorial Review:
    This is the first picture directed by Johnny To, who went on to become a major director and producer of flashy urban action films. It's a lackluster 1989 weepy, equal parts Kramer vs. Kramer and A Man and a Woman, and it was one of superstar Chow Yun-Fat's biggest hometown hits. Chow's certainly in his element as a motor-mouthed truck driver with a shoulder-length mop of hair who lives in affectionate squalor with his smart-mouthed 9-year-old son. Dad's also a former motorbike champion who had to retire after a crash; he walks with a limp and the doctor warns that even one more serious injury could be his last. (Talk about telegraphing a finale!) Sylvia Chang is the boy's long-lost mom, a yuppie expatriate who returns to Hong Kong and tries to pry her son away from his dad. Most of the movie is jaunty romantic-insult comedy, with Chow and Chang as uncommonly charming sparring partners. But the wrap-up takes an unearned swerve into melodrama, as Chang and the kid watch Ah-Long's comeback race. And you can guess the rest. Kleenex, anyone? --David Chute

    Touching .. well worth the 5 stars 5 Star Review
    2006-06-27 - i remember this movie as the only movie that can makes me cry everytime i watch it. Although i know the story inside out but the tears will just drop everytime i watch the finale part; the race part. The best from Chow yun Fatt ..

    All About Ah-Long - A Story that Begs for Tears 5 Star Review
    2004-12-10 - I watched "All About Ah-Long" years ago when I was still 12. Now 10 years have passed, I finally purchased the DVD and watched it again. I admit that I cried like baby when I watched it the first time. Now I am 22, I still cried like a baby. The story is just amazingly touching. I especially have to point out the little boy's acting in the movie was excellent. You would want to cry just seeing him cry. Chow Yun-Fat's acting was also very good. This was one of his early movies. I strongly recommend this movie!

    A Great Movie 5 Star Review
    2003-01-06 - One of my top 10 movies. Another reason why Chow Yun-Fat is my favorite actor.

    A Chow Must See 5 Star Review
    2002-03-31 - More and more, I continue to be introduced the majestic talent and ability of Chow Yun Fat, my favorite actor. This is a tear-jerking, heart-warming drama. For those of you who think all Chow knows what to do is walk around with guns and shoot people, you must see this movie. The little kid in it is hilarious. And Chow delivers one of the best performances of his career. If you love Chow Yun Fat, this is a must-see.

    ALL ABOUT AH-LONG! 4 Star Review
    2001-10-23 - Chow Yun Fat stars as a truck driver who is raising his son along in this 1989 Hong Kong film directed by Johnny To! Ah-Long's life is complicated when his former wife returns and they try to reform their family! But then, in the end, he goes back to his earlier passion for racing motorcylces! Chow Yun Fat's performance is one of his best (he won the 1990 Honk Kong Academy Award for Best Actor), but I sure did not see the motorcycle bit coming! The climatic race is exciting, but it is like they spliced two different movies together!
