Hong Kong citizens tackle invaders from another world posing as humans and distributing lethal drugs.

The Wicked City is a 1992 science fiction film directed by Peter Mak and produced by Tsui Hark (徐克). It is a live-action film adaptation of the Japanese anime of the same name, which in turn is based on the first novel of the series of the same name by Hideyuki Kikuchi. The film stars Jacky Cheung Hok-yau (張學友), Leon Lai Ming (黎明), Yuen Woo-ping (袁和平), Roy Cheung Yiu-yeung (張耀揚), Tatsuya Nakadai (仲代 達矢), Michelle Reis (李嘉欣), and Carman Lee Yeuk-tung (李若彤).

Michelle Reis said that Tsui Hark actually directed many scenes himself.

It tells fictional story of conflicts and relationship between demon-like creatures and humans in 1990s' Hong Kong. The film was one of the most popular Tsui Hark productions in the USA and Europe, and still plays in festivals and midnight screenings around the USA and Europe.
