Trailer for a film starring Yu Rong Guang (Iron Monkey). Looks good

According to wu-jing.org it is due to be out in November 2008

Wow, I was impressed by that. It looks like there's going to be some complicated handwork and hard-hitting stunts too. But what can you expect from something from Tsui Siu Ming? He was one of the most underrated action directors to every work in HK imo.

Looks ok...but otherwise for me thats about it

ekisha · 09-16-2008, 09:13 AM

It looks cool.Let's wait and see.

If it has some good exchanges I'll check it out, but it looks like there's way too much wirefu for my liking. To me wirework has greatly deteriorated over the years. I can't stand it.

yup im not too big on wirework either especially how obvious it is in some of the modern films these days

Depends on how it's integrated. Looks like a real dramatic kind of film- I would hope the wirework would be kept to a minimum. Especially if you have some wushu practitioners available. But I will definitely keep on eye on it.

i don't mind wirework if it's well done, what i saw in the trailer wasn't too bad

i'm just glad yu rong guang is back, one of the most underrated screen fighters ever i think

From what I saw, the wirework seemed pretty high standard. I don't really care about them not following the laws of gravity, as long as the movement itself looks natural and fluid with no Romeo Must Die-ish hangtime and mid air lagging.

Yeah the wirework definitely looks better than Romeo Must Die, but I like the type of wirework used in movies like Fist of Legend, where they don't use wires to make people fly, they use it to enhance their movements (like those awesome kicks). Or in Taiwan the wirework was kind of bad sometimes, but it added to the insanity of the action. I just can't stand wirework these days. It's like it's "too" clean. I don't know how to explain it.
