Baji (Han Jae-Suk) is tops in his field for organizing underground fights with illegal wagers placed on the fights. The owner of the location for the underground fights is Boss Jang (Song Young-Chang). Baji is now in serious debt and Boss Jang recommends a way for him to climb out of his debt. Baiji lets gambler James (Jung Sung-Hwa) join in on the illegal wagers. James is very sharp and also wields considerable financial power. Baiji then puts together a 9 member team to manipulate the bets. Baiji's girlfriend Seon-Nyeo (Park Seong-Woong) joins the team. The fights progress as planned, but with 2 fights left Boss Jang and James comes to Baiji looking for a piece of the action. The betting has now completely changed. There is only one fight left and the battle of wits begin ...

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
