"I thought I could put martial arts behind me. But deep down... I know I never could do that." Well Go USA has released an official trailer for a badass martial arts movie titled Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, another new story set in the (seemingly never-ending) Ip Man universe. This time, while keeping a low profile after his defeat from Ip Man, Cheung Tin Chi gets into trouble after getting into a fight with a powerful foreigner. Max Zhang (aka Jin Zhang) stars as Cheung, with an awesome supporting cast including Dave Bautista, Michelle Yeoh, Tony Jaa, Chrissie Chau, Kevin Cheng, and Yan Liu. Best of all, this is directed by the martial arts master Yuen Woo-Ping, who has been directing films for years bringing us some of the finest martial arts action ever seen on screen. Of course this looks totally badass, and much better than that other...

Hong Kong superstar Tony Leung Chiu-wai joins the cast of the highly anticipated film “Monster Hunt 2”.

The film is the sequel to the second most successful Chinese film of all time, “Monster Hunt”.

“Monster Hunt” came out in 2015 and grossed a whopping $385 million worldwide. The fantasy comedy adventure won numerous awards including Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards for Raman Hui. Hui will reclaim the directorial reigns for the upcoming sequel. Bai Baihe (“Love is Not Blind”) and Jing Boran (“Time Raiders”) will reprise their roles as amateur monster-hunter Hua Xiaolan (Baihe) and as village mayor Song Tianyin (Boran).

The plot of “Monster Hunt 2” will begin a week after the end of the first film. It will follow the exciting new adventures of the monster king Wuba and its family. According to Variety, Tony Leung will play a pivotal character who changes the course of the monster king’s journey.

Stars: Jet Li, Zhang Wen, Shishi Liu, Michelle Chen, Yan Liu, Collin Chou, Stephen Fung, Raymond Lam, Ka-Yan Leung, Siu-Lung Leung, Yili Ma | Written by Tan Cheung | Directed by Tsz Ming Wong

Jet Li, star of countless classic martial arts movies, teams up with the producer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kung Fu Hustle for Badge of Fury (aka Badges of Fury) a crime drama caper that is more caper than crime… Even though, at least on paper this would seem like a perfect Hong Kong action flick:

When a spate of murders erupt across Hong Kong, two kick-ass cops are assigned to the case. Chaos soon escalates when they reach a dead end and the detectives must play a deadly game to lure the killer out.

You see from that synopsis I was expecting something special, along the lines of New Police Story or (an undoubtedly sub-par) Infernal Affairs,...
