People revisit King of Beggars for the same reason it broke through in 1992: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a comedy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Gordon Chan keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The action and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
