Throw Down Plot Summary
What happens in Throw Down from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Sze-to Bo ([Louis Koo]) is a karaoke manager and band leader, a former judo champion who walked away from the sport years ago for reasons that never fully surface. His world sits in the glow of neon and the clack of coins, and he is haunted by depression and alcoholism, yet he clings to the sharp memory of his discipline. Into this fragile existence enters Tony ([Aaron Kwok]), the current judo champion who admires Bo and challenges him to a duel, hoping to test the limits of a legend who once ruled the mat. Bo’s longtime rival, Lee Kong ([Tony Leung Ka Fai]), arrives with an old unfinished score to settle, raising the stakes and stirring memories that Bo would rather leave buried.
