Chinese gangster ‘Broken Tooth’ is back in Macau, and no one understands how it happened
- Thread starter 88m3
- Start date
In early 1997, an unsigned letter was sent to several newspapers in the area. It said: "Warning: From this day on it is forbidden to mention Broken Tooth Koi in the press; otherwise bullets will have no eyes, and knives and bullets will have no feelings."
In 1997 Wan briefly fled Macau to avoid two arrest warrants, one from a new anti-triad law enacted in Macau, and one for drug-trafficking from China. However in August a Portuguese judge cleared Wan of all charges, and unexpectedly retired and moved back to Portugal the very next day.
Ultimately, Wan amassed enough power and influence and took over Wai's rackets completely. By this time he was earning $6 million a month from his legal gambling establishments.
Much like Nicky Barnes and John Gotti, Wan kept a very stylish public appearance, driving expensive sports cars and wearing expensive suits and jewellery. Prior to his prison sentenced he went through three marriages and has fathered six children.
ne of his most outrageous stunts was to close down the Macau-Taipa Bridge for some hours to allow filming of a crucial scene in the movie. The producers had asked the Macau Government for permission to film on the bridge, closing it to traffic, but permission was denied. However, Wan wanted the scene to be shot anyway so he closed traffic from both sides of the bridge without any warning and the scene was filmed in this manner. Traffic to and from Macau was, because of this, halted for around two hours. No police intervention was made or any other measures by the Macau Government were taken to reopen the bridge to normal traffic flow on what was then the only link between the Macau mainland and Taipa-Coloane.
As a result of his gangster lifestyle he has also acquired a number of wounds. He has been shot twice and has had his arms badly mangled by meat cleavers, and as a result cannot straighten his two middle fingers.

@Joey Chizzle you know I love my kung fu/asian cinema, it's pretty insane how much the triads were deep in the hong kong film scene..chai wai man, and many others too..makes sense with the flooding of triad theme flicks too..very intetesting side to one of my fave cinema's.

I'm betting there were some guys on set that would just sit there and regulate shyt
if a scene went a certain way they didn't like, they'd probably make a facial expression then the director would be like cut! Rewrite this scene.

IMO I don't even think they really "make money" per se
I feel like the real bosses simply go somewhere and don't have to pay, or acquire things and don't have to drop a penny on it
Like their power is so implied that money is not even an issue
