New update today on Felix Chong’s upcoming Once A Gangster with Ekin Chen and Jordan Chan due for release May 5.  Yesterday we posted the official site that just came online.  Today we would like to present the first trailer, and offer an full plot summay.  

Celerity cook Brisket (Jordan Chan) is known for his culinary sleight of hand, but hardly anyone realizes he used to be a young and dangerous slayer who cut human flesh rather than poultry meat. Now a family man who strives to be caring father, he finds his idyllic life turned topsy-turvy when his Triad mentor comes out of nowhere and commands him to run for the “Dragon Head” in the underworld.

Brisket’s only chance to extricate himself from this quagmire is to lose the election to another candidate called Sparrow (Ekin Cheng), who supposedly is the designated heir to the previous kingpin. Ironically enough, Sparrow has found his true calling in academia while serving his term in prison. He has set his mind to getting into the best university in Hong Kong rather than re-donning his Triad cloak.

While these two reluctant candidates are racking their brains to outwit each other so that they can stay out of the race, their inglorious pasts eventually caught up with them as their followers are plunged in to mayhem and bloodshed on pain of death to get their respective leaders onto the throne…
