The Corruptor (1999) is a police film starring Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg. Nick Chen (Chow Yun-Fat) is one of New York City's most martial police officers and the first Chinese-born immigrant on the force. Chen's job is to keep the peace in Chinatown from a turf war that has broken out between the Triads and the ruthless, and dangerous Fukienese Dragons. Chen teams up with Danny Wallace (Wahlberg), who is terribly unaware of this situation. When the Tongs boldly attempt to bribe Wallace, Chen is forced to keep his faithfulness.
Trivia
- Originally when Yun-Fats character found out that Wahlberg was the mole, he tore apart a bathroom. Yun-Fat thought this was a decidedly Western reaction, and the breathing technique was opted instead.
- The car chase was trimmed to avoid an NC-17 rating. It is featured uncut on the New Line DVD.
- Originally, Mei was supposed to be performing oral sex on Henry Lee when Nick Chen had the discussion with him in the hot tub. This was changed to feeding him grapes when Yun-Fat said that Chen would not continue a relationship with her after witnessing this act.Template:Crime-film-stub
