Throw Down (simplified Chinese: 柔道龙虎榜; traditional Chinese: 柔道龍虎榜) is a 2004 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Johnnie To and starring Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, Cherrie Ying and Tony Leung Ka-fai.

Director To dedicated the film, one of his most personal films to date, to the late Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and drew elements from Kurosawa’s debut feature Sanshiro Sugata. It premiered at the 61st Venice International Film Festival. [Wikipedia]
