This movie looks like an awesome version of a Black Mask or Kato movie. This is a sequel to Bruce Lee's/Jet Li's/Jackie Chan's Fist of Fury...Damn, Donnie Yen is a busy man!

When is this being released theatrically? Donnie Yen seems to churn out a movie almost every couple of months (just saw Bodyguards & Assassins last week then Ip Man 2 two days ago. Most of the films he is in have incredible production values plus the action/fight scenes are phenomenal (though I kind of thought Ip Man 2 was a lesser movie than the original).

RocShemp

Sweet. Looks almost like a Green Hornet prequel that focuses on Kato.

Solid Snake

well it's HK so they're pretty good at churning out films quickly.

Also...When will Donnie Yen age? He's looks better and better every year.

The character's name is a pretty big clue that this isn't some Black Mask/Kato film. It's a direct continuation of the hugely popular FIST OF FURY television series Donnie Yen did in the mid-90's, and not the Bruce Lee/Jet Li films, as the OP recently appended to his first post. It also appears to reveal the fate of Yen's character on the series (thus the line: "Wasn't Chen Zhen shot by the cops a long time ago?").

Jackie Chan's Fist of Fury? Presumably you mean New Fist of Fury, in which he played a completely different character?

toddly6666

uh oh...someone is breaking down my posts word for word again! haha (i'm just kidding with you).
Brian, is there an English subtitled DVD of that Fist of Fury tv series? And is it worth watching??

Brian T

uh oh...someone's not doing their research again and doesn't like being called on it (just kidding too, of course!). Good to see you're still deflecting even the mildest of criticism rather than owning up to it, as usual.

To answer your first question, though, no.

toddly6666

That's too bad. Since Donnie Yen is hot, I thought even HK DVD companies would be re-releasing all his stuff with English subtitles, maybe even giving his stuff new titles such as "IP MAN 4, or the IP MAN Prequel"

This movie sounds like it can be a sequel to both Fist of Legend and the Fist of Fury TV series. It is written by Gordon Chan who obviously wrote FoL and stars Donnie Yen from the TV series.

Holy shit, this movie looks crazy. Check out the money shots in this clip:
1. Donnie Yen rainbow-running away from bullets (45 second mark)
2. Popeye wind-up punch (55 second mark)

Cardiac161

Wow...that looks awesome!! So when is this film being released in HK? I give it 3-4 months before I see it in Bluray after.

RocShemp

That looks absurd, ridiculous, and totally awesome!

Shame that it uses the tired old "Japan is evil" storyline. I mean, I understand the anymosity between them but it's still a lazy plot device.

toddly6666

The film is getting released in HK in September, so the DVD/blu-ray will probably be released end of December or beginning of January.


I'm starting to get a feeling that "evil Japanese" in their films is as entertaining as nazis in ours. And nazis never get old.

Sonic

Wow that trailer looks amazing and fun action!

Blu Man

I'm in. Looks awesome.

RocShemp

That's one way to view it. But I still wont like it unless these "evil Japanese" start hunting for ancient religious artifacts with promises of limitless power.

mrhan

Yes there is but it's been edited down to 2 hours. It's not worth watching.

asianxcore

Looks like a lot of fun.

Solid Snake

to be honest, Yen did that punch in Flash Point too...so....it's a trademark thing now.

RocShemp

But it's no less awesome to see him do it.

Solid Snake

very true....

LorenzoL

I'm hoping to catch this movie at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

RocShemp

Please let us know what you thought of it if you do.

RocShemp

Despite the "down with Japan cliche," this looks damn good.

And, yes, I know it's no differnt than "those evil Nazis" cliche...

Anybody here see it already?

Wow that looks awesome! Must see.
