One Second Champion

A loser single father learns that lesson the hard way when he becomes gifted with the power of seeing one second into the future. When his ability is exposed, a boxing buff persuades him to use his power in the boxing ring. After reviving Hong Kong’s vampire genre as the co-director of Vampire Cleanup Department, Chiu Sin-hang combines the boxing genre with a refreshing dash of fantasia in his thrilling solo directorial effort.

Directed by Chiu Sin-Hang, One Second Champion leans on a strong ensemble — Endy Chow, Lin Min-Chen, Chiu Sin-Hang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
