Andrew Lau

Not to be confused with singer and actor Andy Lau.

Andrew Lau Wai Keung (劉偉強, born April 4, 1960) is a Hong Kong film director and cinematographer. He most famously worked with Ringo Lam on City on Fire (1987) and Wong Kar-wai on Chungking Express (1994) as cinematographer and has directed Wong Jing-produced sex exploitation movie Naked Killer 2 (1993) and the immensely popular triad themed Young and Dangerous (1996), including its five sequels and one prequel. Subsequently, Lau collaborated with Young and Dangerous star Ekin Cheng on the comic-based The Storm Riders (1998), which was the highest grossing Hong Kong movie at the time and famed for its use of special effects. Lau went on to make several less successful titles in the late 1990s and early 2000s such as The Park (2003) before directing the hit Infernal Affairs trilogy. His next film is Initial D (2005), co-directed with Alan Mak, and starring with singer Jay Chou's debut in the movie industry. Lau's latest production is the Korean film "Daisy".
