A trailer for a military action film from China called "Return of Heroes" (Heroes Return), which should mark the return to cinema of the legend of the hand-to-hand genre - Yuen Biao.
Мы already wrote about this director's project Hu Guo (series “Love and Fates”).
Little is still known about the plot of the action film. We only know that we will be talking about former mercenaries and journalists who witnessed the massacre of an entire village by a local drug cartel.
Besides Yuen Biao (“Snack on Wheels”), the film featured: Ray Liu ("Dynasty Warriors") Ken Thon ("Police Story") Ng Man Tat ("Shaolin Football") Katie Chow (“To hell with your mother!”) and Raquel Xu ("Chasing Dragons")
Network release via VIP subscription of the streaming service QIY awaits "Return of Heroes" January 30 2021 years. We hope the film will be quickly translated into Russian.
Another martial artist from China is preparing his next Internet project. Former Wushu champion and now 47-year-old actor Louis Fan has long found himself in the field of TV series and low-budget crafts for online cinemas.
Fanya's new film is called "Southern Shaolin" (South Shaolin) and is the director's brainchild Dong Wei (“The Last Player”, “Water Brotherhood”).
The plot will revolve around the leader of a pirate gang, Cai Yan, who robs ships during the time of the Republic of China. But one day Yan was betrayed by his comrade and survived, finding refuge in the Shaolin Temple. There he will undergo a re-education course from Zen Master Huiyuan before Yan's old team appears on the temple's doorstep.
Company Luis Fanu (“Ip Man 1-2”) composed Shen Lingjun (“Fierce”) and a classic of Chinese combat cinema Xun Xinxin (Once Upon a Time in China franchise).
"Southern Shaolin" appeared via VIP subscription of the YOUKU service January 22 2021 years.
Let's finish today's selection with another film about Shaolin. But this time the film is not cheap, but is specially made in the style of Hong Kong wuxia cinema of the 70s and 80s of the last century.
Director of the film called "Shaolin Temple: Legend of the Treasure" (Legend of Shaolin) - famous Chinese filmmaker Stanley Toon (“First Strike”, “Rumble in the Bronx”, “The Myth”), thus I decided to express my respect and love for the trilogy of films "Shaolin Temple" (1982, 1984, 1985) with young Jet Li starring. By the way, after watching these films, an 8-year-old Wang Baoqiang (future movie star) went to the temple to study kung fu.
The character in the film is named Shao Lin Xi and he studies hard at Shaolin to uphold the honor of the temple. True, he does not know that the villains have their eyes on the ancient treasures hidden in the temple.
The main role in the film was played by Wang Baoqiang (“And the Monk Came Down from the Mountains”, “The Last of the Best”, “The New King of Comedy”). The rest of the cast is filled by: Ni Dahun ("Curse of the Golden Flower") Liu Haoran (Chinatown Detective trilogy), Ng Man Tat (“Miracles”, “God of Players”) and others.
With a VIP subscription to a streaming service QIY new "Shaolin Temple" it will be possible to get 12 February 2021 year.

I am waiting. I hope there will be something exciting.
I would like to mention Pasha as a person who has been an active participant in this project since…
Sad ending, albeit with a joke...
Added a video from the filming of "Twilight of the Warriors".
