Throw Down (4K restored version)

How do you get back up after you have been thrown down? Szeto Bo, once a judo master, now lives a wasted life of a hopeless drunker and gambler; Tony, a judo expert, keeps relentlessly challenging Bo to a duel; Mona, a damsel in distress, stays at Bo's bar as a singer, aspiring to be a star. The fates of three wandering souls, each with their burdens and persistence, intertwine with each other in this short but warm encounter.

Johnnie To, with his refined cinematic style, turns Hong Kong into a martial arts arena where everyone is a judo fighter wrestling on streets and lanes. Bo, after twists and turns in the story, gains new insights about judo and himself – it is To's most powerful response to the downturn after the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong at that time. The fighting spirit and positive attitude of the film are still heartening today.

Fencing
Hardships, breakthroughs and overcoming oneself – that's what all athletes have to face and also why they shine on the competition field. Fung and Bun are two young good fencers. The hard-working Fung is regarded as a junior and not put in an important position, while Bun is having a more successful career due to his father's position. Yet, the two fencers respect each other and compete with dignity.

Director: Tse Hei-long
