The Sting is a 1992 Hong Kong action comedy film directed by Nico Wong and starring Andy Lau, Rosamund Kwan, Simon Lui and Bowie Lam.
Plot
Simon Tam ( Andy Lau) is a righteous private detective who is working for free for 3 years and 8 months at the behest of his superstitious mentor. Simon has completed 3 years, 7 months, and 28 days as the backstory is completed.
On the second to last day of that period, his assistant Joe ( Simon Lui) accepts a case involving missing money and an advance down payment of HK$1,000,000. The next day, the client mysteriously dies; Simon decides to find the money for the client's wife, Yvonne ( Rosamund Kwan). The missing money turns out to amount to ten thousand million (i.e., ten American billion) Hong Kong dollars of triad money; both Simon and the triads chase after it.
