Plot

Not to be confused with a number of other HK films sporting this title, THOSE WERE THE DAYS opens with Chicken and his associates paying a visit to Ben Hon (Vincent Wan Yeung-ming) and Sister Thirteen (Sandra Ng Kwan-yu) at their casino in Macau. While there, Chicken encounters Lok Wing-ho, the younger brother of Gee (Gigi Leung Wing-kei), a girl he almost married seven years earlier. Flashbacks show how the two met as children and became close friends, living across the hall from one another in a crowded tenement. However, as the years pass, the gulf between them widens, with Gee thinking seriously about school and the future, while Chicken and his slacker buddies join up with Hung Hing boss Brother Bee (Frankie Ng Chi-hung). The fact that Chicken has become a triad is particularly upsetting to Gee and she goes out of her way to avoid him. The love-struck Chicken takes this rejection quite hard but is shocked to discover soon afterwards that Gee is desperately trying to earn money by working as a hostess in one of Hung Hing's clubs. The girl's ailing mother (Shaw Brothers veteran Lily Li Li-li) needs $150,000 to pay for an operation and she makes Chicken swear that he will take care of Gee and her little brother, should anything happen. The woman dies two months later, and Chicken promises to accompany the two to Macau, but he is detained by gang business and they end-up leaving without him. After killing a Fukienese boss, Chicken cools his heels in a small fishing community on Lamma Island and begins a relationship with local girl Chu (Chan Pak-yue). During the intervening months, Gee has sought to improve her station in life by entering The Miss HK Contest but the media soon gets wind of her club girl past and that dream falls by the wayside. When Chicken learns of what has happened, he gets in touch and discovers that Gee now has feelings for him. The pair plan to wed but fate intervenes.
