Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Once a Thief is a 1991 action comedy film directed by John Woo, starring Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung, and is one of the softer, more light-hearted output from Chow Yun-fat's and John Woo's various collaborations.Three orphans, Joe (Chow Yun-fat), James (Leslie Cheung) and Cherie (Cherie Chung), are raised by crime lord and triad leader Boss Chow (Kenneth Tsang), who trained the trio since young to be his lackeys in heist and assassination operations. But after an assignment in France involving recovering an insanely valuable painting of a princess from a castle guarded by the European mafia - goes wrong, with Joe seemingly killed in the process, James realizes he has feelings for Cherie upon returning to Hong Kong, but the triads under Boss Chow aren't willing to let them leave so easily.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Got a 1996–98 TV series adaptation (also directed by Woo), starring Michael Wong and Sandrine Holt. Not to be confused with the 1950 film noir starring Cesar Romero and June Havoc, or the 1965 heist film starring Alain Delon and Ann-Margret. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Once a Thief / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Well, abusive step-parent. Boss Chow may have taken the trio of main characters as children and raised them since young, but he frequently abuses them and berates them for failing him, besides demanding for them to go on dangerous assignments for him. | |
