We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24’s films. On this episode we are looking at 2014’s Revenge of the Green Dragons directed by Andrew Lau and Andrew Loo. The film stars Justin Chon and Kevin Wu as two young men in a Chinese gang, The Green Dragons, in the early 90’s in New York. Joining the show is Rose Ho, one third of The Asian Cut (alongside Rachel and Alisha Mughal).
Our double bill pairings include Goodfellas (Dakota), Gook (Rachel) and Dragonball Evolution (Rose). Check out the ongoing Letterboxd list of all our pairings.
