Miracles (Traditional Chinese: pinyin: q j; Cantonese: Ji ji) is a 1989 Hong Kong action film directed and written by Jackie Chan, who also plays the lead role and worked as stunt co-ordinator. The film is set in 1930s Hong Kong and is a variation of Frank Capra's Lady for a Day and Pocketful of Miracles,[citation needed] which in turn were based on "Madame La Gimp", a short story by Damon Runyon.<br />
Miracles features many well-known Hong Kong actors, including Anita Mui and Wu Ma, and is considered one of Jackie Chan's most sophisticated directorial efforts[1]. Chan is an ardent fan of Hollywood musicals, and Miracles pays tribute to that genre.[1] According to his autobiography, Chan stated that this was the favourite film he has made.[citation needed]<br />
The film was released under several alternative titles in different territories, including:<br />
<br />
Mr. Canton and Lady Rose (Hong Kong English title)<br />
