A smart bomb that explodes the gangster film from the inside, this flick is about a bunch of street thugs who’ll get rich or die trying, but it’s also a branching path Buddhist meditation on fate, a reincarnation rodeo, and a black comedy beatdown. Rarely screened, and shot on the run in throbbing fluorescent colors, it’s filmed backwards, forwards, and upside down by one of Hong Kong’s legendary cameramen, it features some of Hong Kong’s best actors, and it’s directed by one of its Great Directors back when he didn’t give AF. Released in 1997 when everyone involved had nothing to lose, this is a Molotov cocktail of a movie thrown through the Nitehawk’s silver screen.
