But things don't always turn out as we expect…
Shinjuku Incident:
Shinjuku Incident brings together, for the first time, two of Hong Kong's biggest box office draws: international action star Jackie Chan and acclaimed director Derek Yee. Despite having made movies for over a decade, Jackie will present a side in Shinjuku Incident never before seen by his audience. Made at a cost of more than US$25 million, the film pools the top talents from Hong Kong, mainland China and Japan. Shinjuku Incident is dark, grimy and filled with conflicted characters, it's also a seriously bloody affair, with swords being jabbed through throats with alarming frequency. A cross between One Nite In Mongkok and Goodfellas, the film's already been banned in China for being too violent.
In the early 1990s, a tractor mechanic from China nicknamed Steelhead (Jackie Chan) enters Japan illegally, in search of his girlfriend Xiu Xiu (Xu Jinglei). Steelheadand his friend, Jie (Daniel Wu) meet in the busy Shinjuku district of Tokyo and take manual labouring jobs to earn money. When Steel head finds out that Xiu Xiu has married a Japanese Yakuza leader named Eguchi (Kato Masaya), he decides to remain in Japan. When Eguchi was targeted to be murdered, Steelhead saves his life. To consolidate power, Eguchi forms an alliance with Steelhead to carry out his revenge. Soon, Steelhead has become embroiled so deeply in the ways of the yakuza that there is no turning back.
