Challenge of the Gamesters
1981 ยท 1 hr 40 mins
A forerunner to the new wave gambling films, this is one of Wong Jing's first hits--before he would go on to dominate Hong Kong cinema for the next two decades. Although rife with Japanese spies, Shanghai tycoons, beautiful starlets, and enough intrigue to keep 007 happy, Bond himself would be no match for the heroes' skill at mahjong and other games Hong Kong gamblers play--proving that the cube is often mightier than the baccarat card.
Director: Wong Jing
Cast: Wong Yu, Patrick Tse Yin, Chen Kuan-Tai, Melvin Wong Gam-Sam, Cecilia Wong
