ELECTION 2 RELEASED IN CHINA
A sharp-eyed reader brings us this "will you look at that?" story: ELECTION 2 is available for sale in China. Dnoxin, a VCD/DVD distributor in China has it listed right there on its website as being available, before God and everybody. The film is already available for order before it's even been released theatrically in Hong Kong. But it may not be the ELECTION 2 that everyone else saw debut at the Hong Kong International Film Festival since it lists David Chiang in its credits. Chiang was in ELECTION but he didn't appear in ELECTION 2.
So what movie is this? A bootleg? A re-edited bootleg? Something else cobbled together out of bits and pieces, brought to life by electricity and released under the name ELECTION 2? It's entirely possible that it is an actual bootleg of ELECTION 2 since Wong Jing's DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES, which has yet to be released in HK, is also for sale on Dnoxin's website and I know someone who has bought a copy.
