One Nite in Mongkok (Chinese: 旺角黑夜) is a 2004 Hong Kong crime drama film[2] written and directed by Derek Yee and starring Daniel Wu, Cecilia Cheung and Alex Fong.
A sequel to the film, Triple Tap, was released in 2010, which was once again directed by Yee and featured Fong reprising his role, while also starring Wu in a different role.
Film critic Derek Elley praised the film as a "crackerjack crimer", seeing it as a return by Derek Yee to the grittier style of People’s Hero and "away from the gentler relationship movies for which he’s better known".
Elley also noted the film being set during a "nervous period prior to Hong Kong’s handover to China", just before Christmas in 1996.
[3] In a paper for Western Sydney University, Hilary Hongjin He opined that this date was chosen to appease the censors for the film's mainland Chinese release, as it helped "pretend that all things bad happened in the ‘corrupted’ British Hong Kong era.
