The Conman 2002 is a Hong Kong comedy film produced by Wong Jing in 2002. The movie is a sequel to a 1998 Hong Kong film called The Conman, which has the same director and writer. The film centers on a conman named King (Andy Lau) and his partner Dragon (Nick Cheung). They are both professional con artists, and they set out to deceive some wealthy businessmen on a luxury cruise ship.

The story begins with King escaping from the police, who are hot on his trail. He manages to elude them and meets his partner Dragon at the docks. They then embark on a luxury cruise ship, which is full of rich businessmen who are on their way to an investment conference. King and Dragon have a well-planned con in mind and are waiting to execute it on the ship.

The con involves pretending to be an employee of a prison that King supposedly was in. He is a "reformed" man, and now he wants to start his life afresh. His backstory is that he was in jail because he had stolen a sum of money from a corrupt businessman named Yiu-Fai Tai. King is aware that Tai is on the same ship heading towards the same conference. He sees this as an opportunity to take revenge on Tai, and recoup the money he stole from him.

On the ship, King and Dragon meet various characters who play a significant role in their scheme. There's the billionaire businessman Albert Au (Stephen Chow), who has a secret crush on another woman on the boat. There's also the sexy and seductive Mai-Mai (Athena Chu), who catches both King and Dragon's attention. King and Dragon waste no time in putting their plan into action. They take advantage of the situation and start playing mind games with everyone on the ship.

The duo creates a fake news report about a deadly virus spreading on the ship, and within hours, they have everyone in a state of panic. They then set up a fake quarantine room on the ship, where they "cure" people of the virus for a hefty price.

Throughout the movie, King and Dragon's plan starts to unravel, and they have to think fast to salvage it. They encounter several obstacles, such as the ship's security, who becomes suspicious of their actions.

The film's climax takes place at the investment conference, where Tai is set to announce his latest project. King and Dragon have to use all their skills to expose Tai's corrupt scheme and come out victorious.

Overall, The Conman 2002 is a hilarious film that expertly merges comedy, crime, and action. It showcases the talents of Andy Lau and Nick Cheung, who deliver excellent performances throughout the movie. The film is packed with plot twists and turns that will keep audiences guessing. The colorful characters, witty dialogue, and elaborate cons all contribute to a fun and engaging movie experience.
