Norris Wong – My Prince Edward Q&A
Norris Wong, the writer and director of My Prince Edward, talks about the inspiration for the film, and her experiences as a young female director working in the Hong Kong industry
In this visually arresting action drama from acclaimed director Johnnie To, legendary Judo fighter Szeto Bo (Louis Koo) 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) wants to challenge him, while old foe Kong (Tony Leung Ka Fai) demands Szeto finish the match that never took place. Soon Szeto’s pub becomes the ultimate arena where the greatest Judo fighters challenge one another.
Filled with brutal, no-holds-barred Judo fight scenes, Throw Down is director To’s ultra-stylish homage to the great Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, and is an emotional tale of one man’s determination to rediscover himself and win at all costs.
