Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shinjuku Incident is a 2009 Hong Kong crime drama directed by Derek Yee, produced by and starring Jackie Chan, partly intended to prove that He Really Can Act and isn't just the goofy martial artist he is commonly cast as.The story follows the path of a Chinese illegal immigrant to Japan named Steelhead after his initial search for his fiancée Xiu-Xiu finds her happily living with Yakuza leader Eguchi. Steelhead coincidentally saves Eguchi's life during an act of revenge. Eguchi then has Steelhead assassinate several of his enemies, and rewards him with both territory and legal citizenship. This unfortunately places him in the middle of a Mob War between the Yakuza and the Triads, with an empire composed mostly of the people who have helped him so far. Further complicating things is Detective Kitano, a Japanese policeman with immigration who initially agrees to stop pursuing Steelhead after the latter saves his life, but is later drawn into the action due to the nature of Steelhead's "business." Eventually, a series of violent aggressions by rival gangs that all accidentally end up hitting Steelhead's soft-spoken brother Jie and the deepening corruption of Steelhead's friends cause him to realize what he has become. He resolves to break up his empire with the help of Detective Kitano, at which point it may already be too late...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Black-and-Grey Morality: Steelhead and Kitano are unquestionably the most admirable characters, but the former killed several people and even Kitano does a few illegal things in helping Steelhead. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Shinjuku Incident / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: Steelhead rightly criticizes his former friends for committing crimes he doesn't tolerate and also attracting the attention of the police, while his friends are correct in saying that he can't just be a leader of the group without actually leading it and just leaving everything to sort itself out. | |
