«The Club, which told the story of a Triad (Hong Kong gangster) hood trying to keep ownership of a popular local establishment, stood apart from other action films of the time due to its gritty realism. Most of the major actors (including the lead Michael Chan) were current or former Triad members, and Wong took great pains to film in actual locations, even going so far as to securing "protection" from local gangs. Wong's filming style, which took on an almost documentary-like quality, also stood apart from the colorful, fanciful films being produced during the period. Along with films produced by directors such as Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam, the "Hong Kong new wave" (a nod to the European movement of the 1960's) was born.»
