What happens
The Tigers is a 1991 Hong Kong action thriller film directed by Eric Tsang, and starring Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Felix Wong, Michael Miu and Kent Tong. The only film starring the Five Tiger Generals of TVB together, it was adapted from the 1984 TVB series, Rise and Fall of a Stand-In, which featured the film's stars Miu and Tong. The Tigers tells the stories of a team of five Hong Kong detectives. While busting a drug deal the brother-in-law of one of the detectives is found to be implicated and gives them a large amount of cash in exchange for their silence.
