The Canton Godfather
1989, 122 minutes, Rated PG
"Miracles" is a lavish martial-arts comic melodrama set in the 1930's. One of the most expensive Hong Kong movies ever made, it took nine months to shoot and cost $HK 64,000,000 to make. The subtle, Scorcese-inspired tracking shots, elegant montages, and innovative action sequences, indicate the level of care and attention that Jackie put into this labour of love, inspired by "Pocketful of Miracles". Even today, the movie rates as one of the most technically proficient projects ever produced by a Hong Kong studio.
As well as its technical accolades, the movie is also a 'must' for action fans. Each of the movie's fight sequences is very well conceived and the movie carried off the top award for 'Best Fight Choreography' at the 1990 Hong Kong Critics Awards.
