Born to be King (2000)
Director: Andrew Lau
Starring: Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Shu Qi, Gigi Lai, Sonny Chiba, Peter Ho Yun-tung,
Featuring: Jerry Lamb, Chin Kar-lok, Jason Chu, Michael Tse Tin-wah, Roy Cheung, Sandra Ng, Blacky Ko Sau-leung,
Born to be King (aka: Young and Dangerous 6) marks a departure from the Young and Dangerous series, of which the film is the latest episode. Boasting more than just a name change, the film notably lacks the youth dramas and Causeway Bay street heroics that I expected on entering the auditorium. Hints of Japan settings in the lobby cards also come largely unfulfilled, with much of the action instead occurring in parallel to the recent Taiwanese presidential elections.
