Viewing Notes

Great movie that deserves a better print than this Tartan Asia Extreme release. Nice to revisit this. Looking forward to the other two movies.

One of the things that strikes me about ELECTION is that there is never a single gun ever used or in sight, by the gangsters or the police.

Also, I didn’t connect that the police commander was David Chiang until I saw his name in the credits!
