Actor and director Yu Song previously seriously attracted attention for the quality of his debut - action "King of the Streets"Since then he has been busy producing his new martial arts film -"The Bodyguard" (Bodyguard). No, this movie has nothing to do with current project of Sammo Huhn, just the same name.
"Bodyguard" by Yoo Song Last year, it attracted the attention of critics at film festivals, and earned rave reviews for its creator.
As for the storyline, it will tell about the follower of the ancient clan "Iron Strike" Wu-Lin, who, after the death of the clan master, left the village and moved to the city to find his former brother Zhang Li. The main character manages to become the bodyguard of Fei-Fei, the daughter of the wealthy Li. Soon, a gang led by Zhang Li kidnaps Fei-Fei, and Wun-Li makes it her main goal to save her ward.
It is encouraging that famous movie stars play in the film - Yu Xing (Shaolin, Ip Man, Hot Spot) and needs no introduction Colin Chow.
Trailer for the film "The Bodyguard" by Yoo Song
The film is scheduled for March 2016, according to a statement in the trailer, with the premiere a "new kung fu superstar" will be born.
The cables ruined everything again! Have you completely forgotten how to work with them???!!! But the power and energy is felt in many scenes. This is +. I will definitely take a look at this action!
According to the trailer, it’s powerful, super dynamic, it’s a little confusing that, unlike the king of the streets (which, by the way, was an excellent kung fu film), there are a lot of flying Chinese here, this was probably done to make the fights more effective, the hero really strongly resembles Bruce with his speed, technique, and kicks. We're waiting.
Dave,
And where is he similar to Bruce? I see references to Donnie Yen and Jackie Woo, but where is Bruce...?
DIV,
I wrote that he resembles Bruce with his speed, technique, kicks, you probably didn’t read it carefully.
Dave,
For me, there is more of Ian and modern trends in hard fighting.
The new Bruce Lee is ready, it will be cool.
In fact, it seems really epic)) Although there is also an attempt to play Donnie Yen, but this is initially a failure, simply because for such things to look cool you need to be Donnie Yen and have his charisma. The guy, as for me, may well shoot. People have been waiting for a new star for a long time. And here he is also a director, screenwriter and leading actor! And this is already an application. But in the trailer, despite the spectacular fights, he looks very bland. Doesn't catch on at all. Although this may be just a first impression.
The hairstyle is good))))
Some TOO loud statements: “the new Brice Lee”, “the best kung fu film in 20 years”, “a revolution in the genre”... I immediately begin to treat the film with great suspicion. And the trailer doesn’t show anything supernatural; moreover, the battle with an army of opponents somehow looks a lot like the one from “The Legendary Assassin” by Jackie Woo.
Well, let's see, of course. The trailer didn't show much of Ngai Sing. As I understand it, the charismatic Yu Xing will rule the roost - he plays the main villain.
In general, I’m already looking forward to summing up the results of 2016 on this site - there hasn’t been such a prolific year for the ma-action genre in a long time.
DIV,
And the battle with the enemy army reminded me more of a scene from the movie Dragon and Tiger Gate. At the very beginning in the cafe, when the main character scattered the crowd with his feet alone. And in general, it seemed to me personally that they were inspired in terms of action by the latest works of Donnie Yen. Both successful and not entirely successful.
