Miracles: The Canton Godfather (1989), starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui, Bill Tung, Richard Ng, and Ya-Lei Kuei. The release will be available for purchase on December 9.
Synopsis: An optimistic Gwok Zan-Waa (Jackie Chan) arrives in Hong Kong, quickly finding himself impoverished. That is, until a serendipitous encounter with a rose seller (Gua Ah-Leh) leads to his inadvertent appointment as boss of a local gang. Amidst the reluctant leader's efforts to reform their fraternity and businesses, is an endeavour to share his new-found fortune with the bestower, all whilst trying to stave off rivals and the authorities. A remake of Frank Capra's 'Pocketful of Miracles', Miracles - also known by its Hong Kong English title 'Mr Canton and Lady Rose' - is an action-comedy-romance set against a backdrop of lavish elegance and style.
