Too Many Ways to Be No. 1 (1997) follows the journey of Ah-Gou, a petty street hustler from Hong Kong, who seeks guidance from a fortune teller and learns that a pivotal decision awaits him. Little does he know that his life is about to take an irreversible turn. Ah-Gou must decide between joining his gang in Mainland China to finalize a deal involving a pair of stolen vehicles or accompanying his friend on a mission to eliminate a mafia boss in Taiwan. The film explores the consequences of both paths, leaving viewers to ponder whether either choice truly offers a favorable outcome. This gritty action comedy blends influences from Krzysztof Kieslowski, Guy Ritchie, and Quentin Tarantino, while also serving as a poignant political commentary on Hong Kong's handover to the People's Republic of China in 1997. With its innovative cinematography, psychedelic electronic score, and an array of distinctive characters, Too Many Ways to Be No. 1 (1997) delivers an engaging and unforgettable experience.
