1. As Tears Go By (0) vs Days of Being Wild (1) - Easy, As Tears Go By is his only poor film.

2. Chungking Express (0) vs Ashes of Time (1) - Based on the Hong Kong AOT cut. I've not seen the Redux yet.

3. Fallen Angels (1) vs Happy Together (0)

4. In the Mood for Love (1) vs 2046 (0) - 2046 is my second fave WKW film though, then Chungking Express.

What about My Blueberry Nights? I don't think it was that bad. This is the first round I've seen all the films :D.

I had to leave one film off and there was no way in hell Blueberry was going to get past the first round.
