Election

A democratic election is taking place to determine the new leader of the Hong Kong triad: longtime gangster Lok, or ambitious moneyman Big D. No prize if you can guess who wins, and who gets pissed off.

Slow-moving but captivating film, with a race to recapture a sacred triad artifact and one quite good found-object fight scene. In fact, that last bit is so important it deserves its own category.

Scene I'd watch on endless loop: The spoon-eating scene. Or maybe those crates being rolled down the cliff.
