Throw Down
In this visually arresting action drama from acclaimed director JOHNNIE TO (Breaking News, RUNNING ON KARMA), legendary Judo fighter Szeto Bo (Louis Koo from THE LEGEND OF ZU and RULES OF THE GAME) unexpectedly gave up the sport and now lives the life of an alcoholic gambler who runs a pub. However, cocky Judo newcomer Tony (Aaron Kwok from THE STORM RIDERS and HEAT TEAM) wants to challenge him, while old foe Kong (Tony Leung Ka Fai from WATER MARGIN and JIANG HU-THE TRIAD ZONE) demands Szeto to finish the match that never took place. Soon Szeto's pub became the ultimate arena where the greatest Judo fighters take on one another. Filled with brutal, no-holds-barred Judo fight scenes performed by the actors themselves, THROWDOWN is not only director To's stylish homage to the great Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, but also an emotional tale of one man's determination to rediscover himself and win at all costs.
