Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Man Wanted is a 1995 Hong Kong cop thriller and Heroic Bloodshed film starring Simon Yam and Yu Rong-guang, respectively as an undercover detective and a drug kingpin.Lok Man-wah (Simon Yam) is an undercover cop who has been investigating drug kingpin Luk Chan-feng (Yu Rongguang) for two years, infiltrating Chan-feng's syndicate as a fellow dealer, but over the years Chan-feng has grown close to Man-wah, even declaring Man-wah as his closest associate and business partner. When Man-wah's identity is eventually blown, he ends up endangering everyone else around him, including his police superiors, his girlfriend June, and himself. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse is about to rage in the streets of Hong Kong...Two sequels are made, titled Man Wanted 2: Those Were the Days (1996) and Man Wanted 3 (2000), both starring Simon Yam, but NOT reprising his role from the first movie. In fact, the sequels doesn't even belong to the Heroic Bloodshed genre at all, and are your rather standard, average run-of-the-mill gangster films which barely features any action or brotherhood bonding of any kind.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Conflicting Loyalty: Part of what drives the plot of the movie, since Man-wah has been undercover as Chan -feng's accomplice for two years, and when the drug kingpin declares Man-wah as his best friend and closest ally, Man-wah the undercover cop had troubles on where his allegiance points.

Affably Evil: Chan-feng, the Big Bad, who acts chummy and friendly, polite to his clients and business partners, and declares Man-wah as his closest ally, but is actually a ruthless drug lord and killing machine who had no qualms committing murder, blackmail, kidnapping, extortion and various crimes.

Cement Shoes: A variation for June's fate, she is chained by her wrists to an anchor and dropped into the Bay of Kowloon, while Man-wah is Forced to Watch as punishment for being an informant.
