The trailer for the long-awaited action drama starring the legendary Karoly Hui (Kara Wei) starring "Mrs. Kay". This is due to the fact that the film will be presented at the Singapore International Film Festival 27 November current year.
We have already told about this project, which should be the last hand-to-hand action movie for Kara in her career.
The film follows housewife Mrs. Kay, who lives in a quiet suburban area with her husband and daughter. But when a former police officer with knowledge of Mrs. Kay's criminal past arrives in town, events begin to threaten the family, and Mrs. Kay must take up arms again.
The film was shot in Malaysia by a local director Ho Yu-Han ("Rain Dogs") Hui starred in the action movie with Kara Simon Yam ("The Elemental Masters 2"), Wu Bai ("New Police Story"), Kirk Wong ("Kungfu Jungle"), Faizal Hussain (“Returning to Murder”) and others.
Judging by the trailer, 55-year-old Kara can still pleasantly surprise action movie fans. It’s a pity that the exact release date is still unknown. The film will definitely be playing around film festivals for some time. The premiere took place at the Busan Film Festival (South Korea).
We also have for you the second trailer for the upcoming wuxia epic from the venerable director Derek Yee ("Shinjuku Incident") and producer Tsui Harka - "Sword master".
The film took almost three years to film and is a reimagining of the 1977 classic Show Brothers "Death Duel", which in turn was a film adaptation of the novel Gu Long. In the original film, Derek Yee played one of the main roles.
The script, to which Tsui Hark also had a hand, will tell the story of a great swordsman, whose fame haunts many contenders for this title.
This wuxia action film stars rising stars of Chinese cinema: Kenny Lin (“For a few bullets”), Jiang Mengjie ("Kung Fu Man") Jiang Yiyan (the “Four” trilogy), as well as the star of television series Peter Ho (“The Monkey King”) and other actors.
The premiere of "Sword Art", which will be released under the title "Mortal Duel", was supposed to take place in August, but the release was postponed to December 2016 or early 2017. The exact premiere date has not yet been announced.
The film will be shown in 3D.
Let's finish the selection with a trailer for a Vietnamese action comedy film "Bodyguards from Saigon" (Saigon Bodyguards) is a funny story about cartoonish bodyguards and the chaos they cause while protecting their most important client.
Interestingly, the director of the upcoming Vietnamese film is Japanese Ken Otiai, which may be known to visitors to our site as an action-adventure film "Tiger Mask" (2013), drama "Uzumasa's Footlights" (2014) and a mystical action movie "Ninja Monster" (2015)
Famous Vietnamese actors starred in “Bodyguards from Saigon”: Kim Lee ("Antivirus"), Thai Hoa (“Once Upon a Time in Vietnam”), Chi Poo (“Love Yu”) and others.
The filmmakers promised a funny comedy, in which there was a place for shooting and hand-to-hand action. All we have to do is wait and watch the first trailer.
Vietnamese premiere of “Bodyguards from Saigon” will take place 16 декабря 2016 года.

I'm probably looking forward to all three films. "Mrs. Kay", for obvious reasons, should be an interesting film in any case. Even as a farewell action movie for old lady Kara. “Sword Master” can be a breath of fresh air in wuxia films, of which there are many, but few good ones. And the Vietnamese film seemed funny from the trailer. If there is an opportunity, I'll take a look.
Mrs. Kay will be nice to see, the oldies have been on fire lately (my favorite bodyguard, etc.)
