Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai in Infernal Affairs (2002)

FAQ

Infernal Affairs



    The Non-Stop Way

    Though you need to know the context. In a Buddhist text DiZhangPuSaBenYuenJinJuen, one passage can be roughly translated as "If such men are so, will fall into infinite hell, for eternal suffering, onto infinity, with no end."

    Infinite here is "mou gaan" (Cantonese) straight from the Buddhist text, and "dou" is tao or way. So you get "non-stop way".

    Another way to answer this is that "Wu Jian" means no space or no width. In English, there's a saying "walking on fine line between...". Well, there's still room for one to walk on. Just imagine when you start to realize the way is getting narrower and narrower, even, in the end the way becomes no width at all.



    A special ending was created for the Chinese market, because the Chinese censorship agency wanted Lau to be punished for his illegal activities in the end. Malaysia is showing the same version, because so is Malaysia's censorship requirements.
