Love Story (1986 film)

Love Story is a 1986 Hong Kong action comedy film directed by David Chiang. The film stars Alan Tam, Brigitte Lin, and Kent Tong. It is unrelated to the much earlier and better-known 1970 American romantic drama Love Story. The plot revolves around a complex love triangle and the efforts of various characters to both find love and achieve personal goals, incorporating comedic elements alongside action sequences. The film is notable for its blend of genres, which was a common characteristic of Hong Kong cinema during the 1980s. It features Alan Tam playing a somewhat hapless character who finds himself entangled in romantic pursuits and dangerous situations. Brigitte Lin portrays a strong female lead, and the film's narrative involves mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and ultimately, reconciliation.
