100 Yards

Upon the death of a martial arts master the man's top student and son fight each other in order to lead the organization and school into the future.

100 Yards is stylish, whimsical, a little sexy in the women's wardrobe department, and surprising with its slingshot gangs, odd weapons, and strange romance. One other thing that is unusual about the film is the plot. It weaved around to such an extent that I was genuinely confused.

The film is set in 1920s Tianjin. It includes impressive and well choreographed fight scenes and stylish costumes.

Speaking of a dazzling wardrobe one of the main actors, Jacky Heung, appeared at the international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in a pink suit with a silver dragonfly and flowers on the back. According to the directors, musicians and dancers were used in the background of many of the scenes "because they have character."
