Production

Lady Cop & Papa Crook marks the second co-directorial partnership between Alan Mak and Felix Chong, the writers behind the Infernal Affairs trilogy. The two reunite with Sammi Cheng who appeared in Infernal Affairs, and its third instalment. The film was shot under a budget of HK$30 million.

The original storyline for Lady Cop & Papa Crook centred on two strong male characters. The idea took shape while Alan Mak was talking to police officer-friends and randomly asked whether or not they would be prepared to investigate a kidnapping of a gangster's son. Mak was told of a proper procedure: “If [one of your family members] is kidnapped, the first thing the police do is to blockade your home.

The idea led to a script, but when the script was finally completed, Mak felt uncomfortable with the concept of another male buddy film. Chong and Mak decided that the film would center on a female police officer, and immediately thought of Sammi Cheng being cast in the lead role. The directors both felt that Cheng was a role model among women. Chong had thought about casting Eason Chan, while attending one of his concerts in 2006.

Lady Cop & Papa Crook was scheduled for released in September 2008, but was postponed when the film failed to meet Chinese government censorship standards. Lady Cop & Papa Crook was submitted to the Hong Kong government's Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority on 7 August 2008, with a version running at 97 minutes.
