A Taiwanese rewrite of Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets, the Hou Hsiao-Hsien film GOODBYE SOUTH, GOODBYE stars Jack Kao (a veteran of several Hou films) as Gao, the head of a group of misfits involved in one get-rich-quick scheme or another. A big fish in a small pond, Gao is responsible for the welfare of a large extended family, as well as his volatile young friend, Flat Head (Taiwanese singing star and Hou film veteran, Lim Giong).
