This is unquestionably my favourite in the YnD series - and I'm a huge YnD buff. You have all the "stars" of the franchise here, Chn Ho Nam, Chicken, Stammer, the priest, but also great support characters played by Anthony Wong Chau Sang and Karen Mok, probably the two best HK actors of their generation. You have a bad guy who's really really really bad, and you have that sense of a documentary film about a Hong Kong which does not exist anymore, already after the British colonial period, and still before the Chinese takeover (and there's quite a few humorous lines about that in the movie). A Hong Kong society that almost belonged to itself. OK, the storyline is in fact a direct copy of the first film in the series (they just changed the characters and locations),but you won't notice unless you're a real expert of the series. I miss those times.

After watching Young and Dangerous 1 and 2 could three be good as well. Cause when comes to three sequel you can either be letdown or great sequel. Well YnD3 delivers but before i can go on before reading this you should see first two movies. YnD 3 picks up right after three and things seem to be looking good for Hung Hing Boys well except for Chan Ho Nam try to help his girlfriend Smartie or Stammer to others recover her memory after the last movie were she was nearly killed. And thats when things go wrong Chan and his friends try to keep there cool when the rival Tung Sing member Crow (played by Roy Cheung) keeps trying them leading up to Ho Nam being framed for murder again and having whole Hung Hing society after you and not to mention Smartie kidnap.

It leads to final showdown at a funeral a rumble that should be a classic as along with the rumble in "The Outsiders" between the greasers and the Socs.

This should of the long going series except for the prequel and Part 6 gets a pass but for 4 and 5 are totally letdown series. So I give this movie a 10 if you into triad flicks or fans of Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan or Gigi Lai even the last two movies this movie to watch not pass

These comments assume one has seen the previous two films so don't need full introductions to characters previously introduced or their various relationships. If you haven't already I would strongly recommend watching the first two films before this.

Shortly after Chan Ho Nam is made leader of the Causeway Bay section of the Hung Hing his friend Chicken returns from Taiwan and rejoins the society. Meanwhile rival gang, the Tung Sing, are plotting to take their territory; this gang is led by Camel Lok. Camel's lieutenant, Crow, works to undermine Nam, eventually framing him for murder. Away from their gang lives; Nam's girlfriend Smartie has awakened from her coma but has lost her memory and Chicken gets involved with the priest's foul-mouthed daughter.

I enjoyed the previous 'Young and Dangerous' films so went into this with fairly high expectations... and wasn't disappointed. It delivers some solid action scenes, quite a few laughs and one genuinely shocking moment. The action is nicely spread throughout the film; the highlight being the final confrontation where a mass brawl breaks out at a funeral. The central drama is interesting and takes the protagonists all the way to Amsterdam for a key event before they return to Hong Kong. The drama is nicely balanced by the more comedic elements; the funniest involving Chicken and Shuk Fan, the priest's daughter who isn't quite as pre as her father thinks. The cast are on good form; notably returnees Ekin Cheng, Jordon Chan and Gigi Lai as Nam, Chicken and Smartie and new arrivals Roy Cheung and Karen Mok as Crow and Shuk Fan. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the previous films in the series.
