	Movies - Infernal Affairs II

Infernal Affairs II is a Hong Kong film released in 2003. It acts as a prequel to the 2002 hit Infernal Affairs
. Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and Chapman To reprise their roles from the original film, joined by new cast members Carina Lau, Francis Ng and Hu Jun. Both Tony Leung and Andy Lau, who played the central roles in the original, do not appear in the film, as they are replaced by the younger versions played by Edison Chen and Shawn Yue.

Reaction

The film was highly anticipated prior to its release due to the extreme success achieved by Infernal Affairs. However, general response, while still good, was not comparable to the first film. The original film won seven Hong Kong Film Awarads, while IA 2's only award came from Best Original Song.
