Cinema doesn't get much better than this.

God of Gamblers (1989) Director: Jing Wong Actors: Chow Yun-Fat, Michiko Nishiwaki

Just about any 3-minute clip from an 80s flick is better than every 3-hour slop fest film of the past decade.

Inversion of the story about Saint Olaf King Olaf of Norway won the island of Hising in a high-stakes dice game with the King of Sweden, where his opponent rolled two sixes, but Olaf's second die miraculously split in two to show a six and a one (seven total) to secure victory.

Now she has to commit seppuku

chow yun fat's 2nd best movie after A Better Tomorrow

Anytime Michiko Nishiwaka is onscreen, I’m watching.

I can’t tell if it’s played straight or it’s meant to be comedic.

Uncle Fat needs to comeback and make movies again. Nobody was more suave and cool than Chow Yun Fat.

@lycragun Come back to movies, Chow Yun Fat!

Legend… missed watching movies like this.. language barrier had nothing on us

Chow Yun-Fat had aura before it was cool.

In bar dice you stack them like that you buy the whole bar a round

How do Japanese and canto understand each other?

That dice scene in God of Gamblers is pure peak cinema.

Isn't that cheating, the broken dice play?

The guy knew what was about to go down

I'll say! I've watched this game played in Japanese films from Kurosawa to Zatoichi, but this is the first time that anyone actually explains how you win it.

legendary Chow Yun Fat

This is the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

The hair makeup and costumes are perfection.

God thanks it’s Japanese, otherwise it would have a similar effect as those hypo-realist Indian stuff.

Wong Jing > Christopher Nolan

Crouching Libido Sleeping Erection

Hong Kong action-comedy God of Gamblers (1989)

Hong Kong movies in the 90s were so fxcking good… popular across all of Asia, including Japan, Taiwan and Korea Kind of like how Korean media is today.

Why was ine dice broken and only 5 so she cheated??

Great movie why tf this clip in Japanese

Amazing. Where it seemed like he was cage in, he devised a new means.

Chow Yun Fat's henchmen in this was Charles Heung, who was actually a real life triad boss, probably still is.

Pretty dicey stuff.

These people love to aura farm dont they 😂

aside from the negative continuity of the dice on the table between cuts

She should have distracted him with her bare breasts!
