Another effort from director Yeung Kuen, this film finds Chow Yun-Fat cast as a young street punk who makes his living as a pimp. Eschewing regular employment in favor of carrying out various flim-flam schemes, an unexpected opportunity to join a powerful Triad leads him to the top of a criminal society with a number of difficulties along the way.

Apparently the film is notable for its use of (supposedly) accurate criminal slang. The English title's significance, according to is part of that slang, for "pimp", "hoodlum" and "dude". It was released on November 25, 1976 when CYF was 21 years old.

Yet another film which seems to have never surfaced on legitimate home video (or illegitimate either, as far as I can find). Goldig keeps this one locked up tight.
