First Shot (1993 film)

First Shot is a 1993 Hong Kong crime film produced and directed by David Lam and starring Ti Lung, Maggie Cheung, Simon Yam, Waise Lee, Canti Lau and Andy Hui.

The film tells the story of events that led to the formation of the ICAC in Hong Kong in 1974.

During the early 1970s, the ICAC has not been established in Hong Kong yet and the city was swamped with corruption and widespread poverty.

Meanwhile, Governor Murray MacLehose delegates Sir Barry Drainage to investigate the corruption happening in Hong Kong.

[1] Hong Kong Film Net rated the film 7 out of 10 stars and gave a positive review writing "The characters were enaging (especially Simon Yam's turn as a weaselly rat, a total 180 from the usual suave characters he plays), the story was interesting, and the action was pretty exciting.
