Triple Tap is a 2010 Hong Kong action film directed by Derek Yee and starring Louis Koo and Daniel Wu. This film is a sequel to Yee's 2004 film One Nite in Mongkok, which starred Wu in a different role, and the Yee-produced 2000 film Double Tap, which starred Leslie Cheung and Alex Fong, the latter being only actor to reprise his role from both previous installments.
Champion competitive marksman Ken (Louis Koo) finishes an IPSC competition in the beginning, while suddenly comes across an armored van robbery. He sees a policeman held hostage and uses his race gun to shoot and kill four of the robbers. One of the robbers escapes and the policeman survives. The case is handled by Jerry Chong (Daniel Wu), whom Ken knows from having recently beaten him in a shooting match. Ken is found not guilty in court. Soon after, Ken is attacked by the escaped robber Pang To (Chapman To). Their confrontation reveals a very different background story and brings about a myriad of lies and traps and changes in relationships as Jerry and Ken try to outsmart each other.
The film was released in Hong Kong on 1 July 2010.[2]
