Murder charges voided after 23 years in prison

Cook County prosecutors dropped murder charges Friday

against 45-year-old James Andrews,

who spent more than half his life in prison after confessing to two 1983 homicides.

Andrews says those confessions were beaten out of him by detectives working

under disgraced former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge.

Andrews has been free on bail since a Circuit Court judge threw out his conviction in October.

According to court documents,

Andrews was questioned by police in April 1983 about a dog fight,

but detectives also asked him whether he knew the homicide victims.

Rebels of the Neon God

The Taiwanese title refers to Nezha, a powerful child god in Chinese classical mythology

who was born into a human family.

Nezha is impulsive and disobedient. He tries to kill his father,

but is brought under control when a Taoist immortal (Nezha's spiritual mentor)

gives the father a miniature pagoda that enables him to control his rebellious son.

This resonates in the film a number of ways:

Lee's mother believes that he is Nezha reincarnated,

and Tze and Bing try to pawn off some stolen goods to an arcade proprieter named Nezha.

Before the pawning of the stolen goods,

Lee vandalizes Tze's motorcycle, including graffiti stating "Here is Nezha."
