Japanese action movie "Killer Kids" (2021) has become one of the most notable mid-budget Asian action films of the past couple of years. It's not surprising that the sequel didn't take long to arrive.
At the helm of the project again Yugo Sakamoto (“Village of the Yellow Dragon”), who also directed the first film. Again engaged in fight choreography in the sequel Kensuke Sonomura (“Machine Gun Girl”, “Bushido”, “Hydra”).
There is no exact description of the plot of the second part yet, but it is already known that the main characters - young killer girls - will encounter another cool couple - two brothers who are crossed by girls.
The actresses returned to their roles Saori Izawa (“Cleaner”) and Akari Takaishi (“My happy marriage”), and they will be opposed Joey Benny (“Karate Dancer”) and Tatsuomi Hamada ("Brave: Ultramarine Warriors"). The rest of the caste includes: Atomu Mizuishi (TV series "Tokyo Police") Tsubasa Tobinaga ("Male Friend") and classic of Japanese cinema Tetsu Watanabe (“Dreams of Akira Kurosawa”, “Sonatine”, “Fireworks”).
Company Shibuya Production released the action movie into limited release 24 March 2023 year.
Let's not stray far from the martial artist, stuntman and action director Kensuke Sonomura, because the next trailer in our selection belongs to an action movie "One Percent" with another martial artist Takom Sakaguchi in the title role - it was in this film that Sonomura did the fighting.
Let us remind you that this film we are talking about already mentioned before, directed by Sakaguchi’s old comrade and director of several of his films - Yudai Yamaguchi ("Hell's Baseball", "Meat Grinder", "Transforming Gopnik").
Synopsis: Action star Takume Toshiro falls out of favor with producers when he declares that fights in films should be closer to reality, and not be a choreographed ballet. The career of the not-so-young actor was interrupted for 10 years, but now he wants to return with his own film project. He gathers a team and goes to what he thinks is an ideal place for filming - a closed factory on a desert island with zero cellular coverage. But it was there that two opposing Yakuza clans decided to stage a bloody showdown. These two events are intertwined into a real action movie!
Besides Taka Sakaguchi (“Confrontation”, “Deadly Trance”, “Kingdom”) the cast of the film includes the following actors: Kohei Fukuyama ("Ups and Downs: Misfits"), Norihisa Hiranuma (TV series “Cool Teacher Onizuka”), Sho Aoyagi (series "Alice in the Borderland"), Tarot Suruga (“Yakuza and Family”) and others.
Film festival premiere "One Percent" will take place on April 12 as part of the 41st Brussels Fantastic Film Festival. The official release to a wide audience should take place in November 2023.
Let's not stray far from Taka Sakaguchi, who with his stunt team Zero was involved in coordinating stunts and directing action in the third part of the franchise "Kingdom".
A pseudo-historical epic that received a subtitle "Flame of Destiny" (Kingdom 3: Flame Of Destiny) still directed Shinsuke Sato (“I Am a Hero”, “Bleach”, “Inuyashiki”, “Library Wars”), who was responsible for the first two films.
Let us remind you that the story is based on the hit manga authored by Yasuhisa Hara. According to the platform Crunchyroll, the threequel focuses on the "Battle of Bayu" arc, where protagonists Li Xin and Wang Qi are on the same battlefield for the first time to repel the invasion of Warlord Zhao. And also in the "Escape from Zhao" arc, which talks about Ying Zheng's mysterious past. One way or another, the third film should be the last in the series.
Taking part in the film: Kento Yamazaki (series "Alice in the Borderland"), Ryo Yoshizawa ("Black Night Parade") Kanna Hashimoto (dilogy “Assassination Classroom”), Masami Nagasawa ("New Kamen Rider") Nana Seino (“Attack on Titan: The Second Movie: The End of the World”), Hiroshi Tamaki ("The Way of the Householder") Takao Osawa ("Great Yokai War: Guardians"), Koichi Sato (“The Last Sword of the Samurai”) and others.
The world premiere of the epic is set for July 28, 2023.
