The Tragic Fantasy - "Tiger of Wanchiai" (1994)
醉生夢死 之 灣仔之虎
Director: Steven Lo
Starring: Simon
Yam, Chan Miu Ying, Wan Yeung Ming
A parking ramp attendant and would-be racing star
goes from working-class nothing to Triad hero when his after-hours
betting ring takes off. But once he's established, the paper-thin
loyalties binding his syndicate together start to give way.
Hing opened his own auto shop in Wanchai when he
was seventeen. He is a man who fights against injustice, and befriends
all kinds of people, including triad members. He becomes famous, as well
as very successful in the area, and many other shop and restaurant
owners come to him for protection from the triads. A local mob looking
to make a drug deal in one of restaurants protected by Hing is refused,
which leads to an uproar amongst the triads and Hing.
