Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shanghai Grand is a 1996 gangster drama film starring Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau. The movie is a loose adaptation of the 1980 Hong Kong TVB drama series, The Bund, previously starring Chow Yun-fat with Leslie Cheung replacing Chow's role.Set in Shanghai during the early 1930s / Republican era, the city is a haven for triads and gangsters before its occupation by the Japanese in the Second Sino-Japanese War. Hui Man-keung (Cheung), sole survivor of a triad massacre on the seas who escaped by jumping from his ship, finds himself in the Bund of Shanghai, where he befriends Ding-Lik (Andy Lau), a small-time crook and gangster with big dreams of his own. Realizing the only way they can make it big is through joining the triads, both men proceed to kill their way upwards to power, with Man-keung falling for his boss' daughter, Ching-Ching, and trying to prove his worth to his superior as a successor. But, power comes at a price for both men.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Arch-Enemy: Averted, despite Man-keung swearing vengeance after witnessing Madam Yiu slaughtering more than 20 of his friends, ultimately he never gets to confront her, face-to-face. Madam Yiu is ultimately killed by Man-keung's friend, Ding-lik, and Man-keung never finds out what happened to his sworn enemy for the rest of the film. | |

Adaptational Wimp: Man-keung gets a lot less action scenes and shootouts compared to his predecessor, played by Chow Yun-fat, and doesn’t get into much physical fight scenes either. Given how the film is attempting to cram multiple episodes’ worth of events into a single movie, its rather justified. | |
