Throw Down (Criterion Collection)

Once an undisputed judo champ, Sze-To Bo (Louis Koo) was now an alcoholic karaoke bar manager on the margins. Between an ambitious kid (Aaron Kwok) looking to challenge him, an old rival (Tony Leung Ka Fai) with an agenda, a mentor (Hoi Pang Lo) seeking his help, and a singer (Cherrie Ying) needing his protection, he'll have no recourse but the skills he abandoned, in director Johnnie To's kinetic homage to Kurosawa's "Sanshiro Sugata." 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Cantonese with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR
