The trailer for the long-awaited Chinese project has appeared online "God of War" (God of War) by a venerable director Gordon Chan, famous for his fantasy trilogy "Four", action films with Jackie Chan "Thunderbolt" и "Medallion", hand-to-hand films with Jet Li "Fist of Legend" и "King of Adventure", comedies with Stephen Chow "Make Your Way Back to School 1-2" and many others.
Мы already wrote about this historical epic, which tells about the confrontation of a small Chinese settlement under the leadership of a brave general with Japanese pirates. The film's focus is on the strategic maneuvers and tactics with which the general approaches the issue of survival in the fight against pirates.
The leading role in the film is shared Vincent Zhao ("Udan") and Sammo Hung (“14 Blades”), but the rest of the cast is no less curious: the legend of action cinema Yasuaki Kurata ("Blood of the Last Vampire") Timmy Hungg ("Ip Man: The Last Battle") Ryu Kohata ("Four"), Wan Qian ("Laundress"), Michael Tong (“Four”) and others.
By the way, Sammo Hung and Yasuaki Kurata will share screen time for the first time in 30 years. The last time they met on screen was in the film "Millionaire Express".
According to the resource Variety, the film “God of War” was acquired by a distribution company Well Go USA for distribution in North America and other English-speaking countries. At home, in China, the film will start very soon - 27 May 2017 years.
A trailer for an interesting Chinese action film was also released "Chinese Seller" (Chinese Salesman), which is interesting to us for its not entirely standard cast.
Starring this action adventure starred Ethan Lee (“Cops from the Future”), but he is accompanied by well-known Western actors: Mike Tyson ("Ip Man 3"), Steven Seagal ("Marked for Death") and Eric Ebony ("Kingdom of heaven"). The men's party is diluted by a young beauty Lee Ai (“Creepy cosplay”).
Responsible for action and stunts in The Chinese Salesman Tony Chin (“The Wizard and the White Snake”, “Shaolin Football”), and for the production of the film as a whole - the director Tan Bing (“Fatal Contract”)
Until now, the filmmakers have not released a synopsis of the upcoming action film, but the premiere date is already known - 26 May 2017 years.
We invite you to watch the trailer, which shows Mike Tyson having a hand-to-hand fight with Steven Seagal.
Let's finish the selection of trailers with a promotional video for the thriller "Edge" (The Brink) with the rising star of Chinese action cinema Max Zhang starring.
The plot of the film tells the story of a former police officer (Zhang) who gets into a real mess when a “golden” smuggler begins to take revenge for the murder of his godfather.
At the director's helm of the project is Jonathan Lee, for which “Edge” is a major debut work.
Besides Max Zhang (“Ip Man 3”), the thriller starred: Shawn Yu ("Wild City") Gordon Lam (“Three poisons of the mind”), Janice Man ("Helios") Wu Yue (Milan Mission) and the legendary Yasuaki Kurata.
A former member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team is responsible for the hand-to-hand action in the film. Nikki Lee (“From Vegas to Macau”), and for small arms – Soi Cheang (“Stars of Destiny 2”).
Film premiere date - 28 September 2017 years. In the meantime, we wait for the release date to be announced, you can watch the trailer.

Added the second trailer for the thriller "The Edge" with Max Zhang.
Added the third trailer for "The Chinese Seller".
All three films hooked me, at least for now - after watching the trailers. The first is with epic scenes and veterans of Chinese combat cinema. The second is an on-screen fight between Tyson and Seagal. Plus it's funny to see him with a gun. :) Well, the third one - I wonder what Max Zhang, whom I still see in supporting roles all the time, will give us.
Added the second trailer for "The Chinese Seller".
The seller is waiting, after all, the budget is 70 million dollars. For the fight between Steven and Tyson. In a number of scenes, Tyson has a stunt double. There is a video from the filming. The fight I was most looking forward to, because... It is not yet entirely clear when this fight will take place, at the end of the film, or somewhere in the middle, or even at the beginning. If in the finale, then Stephen will win. Again, the director of the film stated that all the fights were staged by Stephen himself.
Denis Sokolov,
Where does the information about the budget come from?
ikojaa,
Exactly. Good question.
Can you tell me how I can find this video from the filming?
I probably look forward to every film equally. "God of War" is a little more, "Salesman" is a little less. But "Brick" looks suspiciously cheap.
The Chinese seller was interested, I became scared for Seagal, even though it was just an on-screen fight, that he would finally be defeated on the screen, Tyson after all.
