Title: The Year of Chameleon
Released: May 12, 1997
Type: TV
'The year of chameleon' is a powerful modern drama, played out against the last few months of British rule prior to the 1997 change of sovereignty. The piece focuses on one man's ruthless ambition, a 'gat rich quick' obsession that causes heartache to all round him. It also exposes how cruel a man can be to achieve the goals, even at the expense of friendship and family. Chameleonic behavior is no longer extraordinary anymore in this society.

Chu Yu (Eric Tsang) is a homicide detective who accidently stabs his girlfriend while wrestling with a murderer. The killer returns later and squeezes her wound until it ruptures, causing her death. But the wily Chu Yu photographs his girlfriend's corpse in a wedding dress, tricking the killer into believing she is not dead and causing him to return for a second try. When he does, Chu Yu is waiting, having rigged the corpse like a marionette and causing it to shoot its own murderer. Co-starring Danny Lee, as Officer Li Ta Hsiu, and Dick Wei in this decidedly offbeat attempt at gallows humor which works extremely well under the direction of action specialist Frankie Chan.
