Hong Kong Synopsis
一秒拳王
How much difference does one second make? Can it be the difference between life and death? A loser single father learns that lesson the hard way when he becomes gifted with the power of seeing one second into the future. When his ability is exposed, a boxing buff persuades him to use his power in the boxing ring. After reviving Hong Kong’s vampire genre as the co-director of Vampire Cleanup Department, Chiu Sin-hang (also the lead vocalist of local band ToNick) combines the boxing genre with a refreshing dash of fantasia in his thrilling solo directorial effort.
