The Triads and the Tongs has duplication issues with Triad Election. It illustrates the trope quite well, so it might be easier to find an alternate for the work page. Since pretty much all the english version use the same image that's already in use, would an alternate Chinese-language version be acceptable?

Pretty much agree with everything OP says. I say go ahead and make the swap.

I think the current image is very much JAFAAC; as it doesn't really suggest that they're gangsters, though the OP's suggestion is a touch more illustrative.

Might I suggest one of these images instead? [1][2]

(5.2 is from a 2012 HK film called Triad)

Edit: Fixed (hopefully)

5.1 looks the most gangster-y to me.

I tend to agree. 5.1 looks the most gangstery.

I'll support 5.1 too. It's also less crowded.

OK for 5.1.

Clock is set. I'm good with 5.1.

+1 for 5.1 as a replacement for The Triads and the Tongs and keeping the current on Triad Election.

Okay, I resized 5.1 but I'm not impressed with how much detail's been lost. It would help if one of the guys on the ends was cropped out...what do you think?

Not sure. It looks a little off-balance. But the details are good.
