If you are a fan of tokusatsu franchises or have at least somehow encountered them, then you know what it is - "Gokaier Pirate Squad". The franchise is one of the classic tokusatsu series that has been appearing in Japan in one form or another for decades under the generic title Super sentai (1975) on TV Toei.
Film Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger director Shojiro Nakazawa, which made a name for itself on various tokusatsu series, is called upon to celebrate its tenth anniversary precisely "Gokaier Squad".
The synopsis for the uninitiated will be difficult to understand, but we will try: the plot of the new film follows the captain of the ship Marvelous, Gokai Red, who returns to Earth after 10 years of wandering. There he encounters a local betting shop - in a special Colosseum, people place bets on mythical warriors - the Power Rangers, who fight in front of a crowd for the guarantees of the mysterious organizers to protect the Earth. Red decides to find out what's going on here.
The following took part in the film: Ryota Ozawa ("Gaze"), Yuki Yamada ("Shoplifters") Mao Itimiti (“Gantz”) and others.
New in Japanese cinemas "Gokayer" will appear November 12 2021 years, but the film is planned to be released on DVD and Blu-ray 9 March 2022 year.
Another action movie from Japan, this time to direct Daishi Matsunaga, who had previously only made tearful dramas (“Pieta on the Toilet,” “Hanalei Bay,” “That Moment My Heart Was Breaking”). The filmmaker's new film is called "Pure Japanese" (Pure Japanese).
Synopsis: Action actor Daisuke Tateishi became withdrawn and unsociable after an accident on the set. One day he meets a high school student, Ayumi. She is being pursued by a Chinese broker and the yakuza for the plot of land where she lives with her grandfather. Daisuke decides to help the girl.

Let's finish today's selection of trailers with a Chinese fantasy epic "The Curse of Turandot" (The Curse of Turandot), which is a long-term project - the film was shot back in 2018. We hope that the project, unlike other high-profile Chinese titles, like "Asuras" will still make it onto the screens.
The film was directed by a TV series director Zheng Xiaolong based on a series of local fantasy comics.
The film tells the story of Princess Turandot, who is cursed by a mysterious power emanating from three Mazovian bracelets given to her for her birthday. And these bracelets turned the princess into a cruel ruler who lost her humanity.
The main role in the epic was played by the actress Guan Xiaotong (“Shadow”), and she was accompanied by: Dylan Sprouse ("Big Dad"), Sophie Marceau ("Brave heart"), Jiang Wen ("Red Kaoliang"), Hu Jun (“Mulan”), martial artist and actor Colin Chow (“The Forbidden Kingdom”) and others.
At the moment, the premiere of the film has been postponed from 15 2021 October, the at the beginning of 2022 due to the pandemic. There is no exact release date yet. But there is a bright and colorful trailer.

I looked through the site using the trailers tag. Something is sad: almost nothing arouses interest. In recent years, nothing has been made on par with “The Raid”, “Ong Bak” and “Undisputed 2-4”. At best, “Russian Raid”, “Collectors” and “Triple Threat” are a pleasure to watch, but not a single film has become an Event with a capital “E”. Okay, “Headshot” and “The Night Follows Us” came close to that bar. But it’s useless to look at the entire filmography of Iko, Tony, Yayan, Scott, Michael - there are too many pass-throughs.
Maybe I missed something?
Wave,
Something like "Raids", "Ong Bak" and "Undisputed" rarely comes out. Hong Kong of the 80s is long gone, but today the genre and its stars are going through difficult times. And then! After the success of John Wick, action cinema began to show signs of life. Perhaps something on the level of these hits will appear soon. Or maybe the field has already been completely scorched and it’s worth it, if you love the genre, to watch what is there.
