CHASING THE DRAGON 追龍: Trailers, Posters & Music Video

The term “chasing the dragon” is synonymous with drug usage in the East and beyond, and I am wondering if the film’s name will remain unchanged for when it premieres on Singapore screens come October 5th.
Featured above is a dialogue-less trailer for CHASING THE DRAGON, while showcased below is a trailer in both Cantonese language and Chinese/Mandarin language. and you can scroll down to the bottom of a music video (Sung by Andy lau) which features more footage from the film.
Gosh knows I love me my Hong-Kong gangster flicks, and in this period incarnation, action actor Donnie Yen is “Crippled Ho” in 60s’ Hong Kong, against/allied with Andy Lau’s “Lee Rock” law enforcement, and the trailers featured here speak for themselves.
WHAT-IS: ”Chasing the Dragon (Chinese: 追龍), previously known as King of Drug Dealers, is an upcoming Hong Kong-Chinese action crime drama film directed by Jason Kwan and Wong Jing. The film stars Andy Lau reprising his role as Lee Rock from the film series of the same name, Donnie Yen as Crippled Ho, based on real life gangster Ng Sek-ho. The film is about an illegal immigrant from Mainland China who sneaks into corrupt British-colonized Hong Kong in 1963 and transforms himself into a ruthless and emerging drug lord. The film is a remake of the 1991 film, To Be Number One.” (Wiki)
