If you’ve read our article featuring Tony Leung, then you already know how much we love Infernal Affairs and how it was later adapted into The Departed by Martin Scorsese. Despite Andy Lau’s amazing performance in that film as Lau Kin-ming, it’s arguable that he had an even more stellar performance in Infernal Affairs III, a performance that won him The Golden Horse Award for Best Leading Actor. Stream Infernal Affairs III on Lionsgate Play with PLDT Home.

Firestorm

Andy Lau’s box office film career isn’t limited to just acting. Thanks to the stellar success of his earlier films, he also became a very successful film producer—Firestorm being one of his most successful. This action blockbuster holds the distinction of being Hong Kong’s first 3D police action film, so you’re guaranteed in-your-face action sequences! Stream Firestorm on Viu Premium with PLDT Home.

Endgame

Andy Lau didn’t become one of Hong Kong’s biggest box office earners by only starring in police action films. Experience Andy Lau’s more comedic side with Endgame, a black comedy that sees Andy Lau as a world-class hitman who loses his memory. Despite being a comedy, Endgame still packs the signature action and charisma that Andy Lau is famous for. Stream Endgame on Lionsgate Play with PLDT Home.

Tricky Brains

If you want the full comedy experience with Andy Lau, then Tricky Brains is the pick! Starring alongside Stephen Chow, who you might know best from Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer, Tricky Brains finds Stephen Chow’s con-man character getting hired to ruin the relationship of Che Man-kit (Andy Lau) and his girlfriend. The comedy dynamic between Andy Lau and Stephen Chow is laugh-out-loud funny and showcases the versatility of both. Stream Tricky Brains on Viu Premium with PLDT Home.

Look For A Star

Experience the more romantic side of Andy Lau in Look For A Star. Andy Lau plays Sam Ching, a famous billionaire who is struck with love at first sight with the gorgeous Milan (Shu Qi). The only problem? The girl who stole his heart isn’t some socialite, but a part-time casino dealer and cabaret dancer—not exactly professions that people in Ching’s circle look highly upon. Will their love beat the odds? Stream Look For A Star on Viu Premium with PLDT Home.
