Final Victory
Director Patrick Tam is widely considered Wong Kar-wai's original mentor and his preoccupation with themes of urban alienation also resonate in Wong's distinctive oeuvre.

Tam brings his own directing style to Final Victory, which was written by Wong who has referred to it as the favourite of his own scripts.

The rollicking black comedy focuses on the bumbling Eric Tsang (Infernal Affairs) who is left in charge of the wife and mistress of his incarcerated gangster brother/boss (played with considerable menace by Hong Kong entertainment baron Tsui Hark).
