Directed by Fruit Chan and produced by Andy Lau, Made in Hong Kong created quite a stir when it first hit the international film scene in 1997. Originally rejected from the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the film went on to acclaim at overseas festivals before returning triumphantly to its home country, where it went on to win a slew of local awards, including Best Picture and Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards, as well as Best Director prizes from both the Hong Kong Film Critics Society and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. Made in Hong Kong established director Fruit Chan as a representative Asian filmmaker, and star Sam Lee (who was discovered by Chan while skateboarding on the street) went on to become one of the most ubiquitous and fastest rising stars in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Famously shot on leftover film stock, Made in Hong Kong channels the true spirit of independent film, utilizing real locations, unknown actors, and a creativity and resourcefulness not seen in Hong Kong Cinema in some time. The story links up the tragic fate of four different people with the two blood-stained letters left by Ah Shan, a secondary school girl, who committed suicide jumping down from a building. Autumn Moon is a small fish working for the triads collecting debts. His father has abandoned his mother, setting up another family with a child. Autumn Moon’s mother has a weak character but she finally manages to run way. Sylvester was a moron who sticks to Autumn Moon, living and working with him. The two befriend Ping during one of their operations. Ping has serious kidney disease and could die any moment. Sylvester picks up the two letters when he passes by the dead body of Ah Shan. One of the letters is for her physical education teacher, the other is for her family. The three friends try to deliver the letters. Meanwhile Autumn Moon and Ping are more and more mutually attracted, irrespective of the fact that this antagonises the triad boss, Fat Chan. In order to rescue Ping from her worsening disease with cash, Autumn Moon promises to kill Brother Wing. He fails the task because he is overwhelmed by fear....
