Hong Kong's film script was not based on a novel, nor was it adapted from a novel or comic. In fact, the origin of the term 'young and dangerous' did not come from a novel or comic, but from a Hong Kong slang that meant " loyal and daring ". The scripts for Young and Dangerous movies were usually written by experienced screenwriters and directors. They would create stories and characters according to market demand and audience preferences. These movies usually incorporated topics such as youth growth, friendship, family, and self-redemption into them. They told the story of young and dangerous people to motivate the audience to cherish the present and pursue their dreams. Although Hong Kong's young and dangerous films enjoyed a high reputation in the industry, they were not adapted from any literary works. They conveyed positive values and life philosophy through the creation and interpretation of true stories.
