YesAsia Editorial Description
Inspired by a real-life case, the film To Be Number One follows the rise and fall of one of the most powerful drug dealers in Hong Kong history. In the vein of the American classic Godfather, the film won the Best Picture and Best Screenplay awards at the 1991 Hong Kong Film Awards as a proof of its high quality. Ray Lui brings to life an ambitious, calculating, and arrogant crime boss whose innate qualities have almost determined his fate. The cast also includes veterans such as Kent Cheng and Kenneth Tsang, and also the beautiful Cecilia Yip and sexy Amy Yip. With an engaging story and meticulous depiction of characters, To Be Number One is a must-see among Hong Kong crime action movies.
Newly immigrated to Hong Kong, Ho (Ray Liu) joins a triad gang lead by Fat Ball (Kent Cheng) and he is so smart that Fat Ball soon feels threatened. He therefore plots against Ho, but the plan only turns Ho into a cripple. After that, Ho decides to beat Fat Ball at any cost, and he eventually puts him in jail. Bribing the police chief with money from drug dealing, Ho extends his influence to all triad gangs and even the force. Everything seems to be going smoothly until the Hong Kong government establishes the Independent Commission Against Corruption...
