Shanghai Grand, also known as Shanghai Grand 1996 to differentiate this film from the more illustrious television series of the same Chinese title, The Bund (Chinese: 上海灘), is a 1996 Hong Kong film directed by Poon Man-kit and starring Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung and Ning Jing.
This film was directed by Poon Man-kit and produced by Tsui Hark and his production company Film Workshop. It is a loose adaptation of the television series in many respects although it was done by narrating the action in three segments each featuring the main characters of the film. Leslie Cheung was cast as the protagonist Hui Man-keung while Andy Lau was cast as the other protagonist and his close friend Ting Lik, a well-meaning but somewhat naive triad leader who was not amused when Hui fell in love with the same girl as the one of his affections. Ning Jing played their love interest Fung Ching-ching.
The story was set in about the same time as the era when Shanghai was ruled by triads shortly before the occupation by Japanese troops in World War II.
