This movie looks off the Hook! I cannot wait to see it! The thing that really sucks for us here in the States is that we sometimes have to wait Months to get to see half of these great movies from overseas!
The first trailer for Singapore/Chinese martial arts actioner FIST OF DRAGON is here. Malaysian writer-director Michael Chuah stars as a young, martial arts-trained man who while visiting his uncle discovers that his hometown has become overrun with violent gangsters so he steps in to defend the locals.

The action comedy also stars Wang Xiao-chen, comedian Henry Thia and Fiona Xie as a stuntwoman. It’s arriving in theaters in Singapore in 2010.
FIST OF DRAGON is a modest, $1 million co-production between Singapore’s Fusian Media and China’s Desen International Media but the extensive fight work, choreographed by Chuah and his stunt team, looks pretty intense from the trailer. I’m also seeing clean forms mixed in there with some rapid, Donnie Yen-style sparring.
Interestingly, Chuah wasn’t originally going to star in this movie but stepped into the lead role when his original pick didn’t pan out. Now, it’s looking like Michael Chuah is going to become the latest rising martial arts star to keep an eye on.
