An Inspector Calls (Chinese: 浮華宴) is an 2015 Hong Kong black comedy film directed by Raymond Wong and Herman Yau and starring Louis Koo, Eric Tsang, Teresa Mo, Hans Zhang, Gordon Lam, Chrissie Chau, Karena Ng, Liu Yan, and Raymond Wong. The film is based on the British play An Inspector Calls.

The film stars Louis Koo as Inspector Goole (renamed "Inspector Karl") (Pronounced Jia 贾 in Chinese, which is a homophone for 假, which means fake, or false), Eric Tsang as Arthur Birling (renamed "Kau Ming"), Teresa Mo as Sybil Birling (renamed "Anson Kau"), Hans Zhang as Gerald Croft (renamed "Johnnie Kei"), Gordon Lam as Eric Birling (renamed "Tim Kau"), Chrissie Chau as Eva Smith (though the character goes by various names), Karena Ng as Sheila Birling (renamed "Sherry Kau") and Law Lan as Edna (though unnamed in the film). In adapting the play for a Chinese audience, the film incorporates wacky, slapstick elements while retaining the original's criticism of social elites.

Sur le marché de la drogue de Hong Kong, le revendeur Jizo (Louis Koo) commence progressivement une collaboration avec certains seigneurs de la drogue mexicains de l’autre côté de la frontière. De son côté, Yu Shun-tin (Andy Lau), un ancien membre des triades devenu philanthrope et magnat de la finance, qui fut témoin de la consommation de drogue de son père pendant son enfance et dont le fils est mort du même fléau, abhorre la drogue qu'il considère comme le mal absolu. Par conséquent, il offre une prime de 100 millions HK$ pour éliminer le principal trafiquant de drogue de Hong Kong, ce qui provoque une agitation dans la société. Le surintendant principal Lam Ching-fung (Michael Miu) a l'intention d'arrêter Jizo, mais est maintenant responsable de sa protection à cause de la prime. Tout en se sentant impuissant, Lam est lui-même attiré par la prime offerte par Yu et est confronté à une lutte intérieur entre le bien et le mal. Une bataille finale éclate entre les deux magnats qui étaient autrefois des frères dans la même triade.
