Once A Thief
Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung star as Joe, Jim and Cherie, three street orphans who, as children, were adopted by Hong Kong underworld kingpin Chow (Kenneth Tsang). Taught to survive by stealing, they are, however, given some moral guidance by a kindly cop who assumes the role of surrogate father after catching them in an act of petty larceny. By the time they have reached adulthood the three friends have established themselves as a team of renowned art thieves, stealing paintings to order. The passing years have also seen romance blossoming between Joe and Cherie. Following their latest successful heist, the trio attempt one last job - the theft of a priceless and reputedly cursed painting. When their plans go horribly wrong during the getaway, the painting is lost and Joe is presumed to have been killed. Years later, Jim and Cherie have taken solace in each other and married. But their lives are turned upside down when the crippled and wheelchair-bound Joe reappears, his mind set on exacting revenge on the people he believes set them up. High on the list of suspects is their former stepfather and benefactor...
