Plot summary
Kuo Cheng-Wah arrives in Hong Kong from the countryside, is swindled out of his savings, and buys a red rose from Madame Kao, a flower seller who promises it will bring luck. He then wanders into a gang fight and aids a dying leader, who names him his successor. Uncle Hoi, the dead boss's right-hand man, helps him adjust to running the gang while Fei, who expected the post, refuses to accept him. Singer Yang Luming brings money to settle a debt the old boss lent her father, and Uncle Hoi proposes they open a nightclub. Rival boss Tiger turns up at the opening, wanting half the shares, and Chief Inspector Ho, who means to put both gangs in jail, is watching.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Miracles - Mr. Canton and Lady Rose (1989)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Production on Miracles was hit by a typhoon that destroyed many of the film sets and forced a rebuild so shooting could finish, and star-director Jackie Chan took a deep cut over his left eye in a stunt that had him flipping backwards onto a rickshaw.
- During the song "Rose, Rose I Love You", sung by Anita Mui, Arthur Wong's steady cam crane shot is a single take: it starts with an overhead view of Tiger leaving the Ritz, then sweeps left to a top view of Yang Luming singing in front of her dancers, with Kuo glancing at Tiger on the way.
