If you happen to be a fan of the Japanese franchise "Ups and downs" about showdowns between rival street and school gangs in a post-apocalyptic setting, then the news is definitely for you!
A new film in the series based on the comics by Takahashi Hiroshi will appear soon "Crows" и "Garbage". Actually, a new film called "Ups and Downs: Misfits X" is a continuation of the spin-off of the main line released in 2019 "Garbage". The new director of the project is Norihisa Hiranuma (“I demand yaoi!”), who, however, served as one of the showrunners of the original series (2014-2016).
The new film will continue the story of the Oya School and its leader Fujio Hanaoka, who confront three merged schools for the sphere of influence of the SWORD district. The most powerful gang members in the area begin a ruthless hunt for representatives of the Oya school.
The singer and actor returned to the leading role Kazuma Kawamura (“Sadako DX”) in the company Masato Yano (TV series “House for the Police”), Hayato Komori, Yuta Nakatsuka, and from the newcomers they took a singer and actor to play the role of the main scoundrel Ryoki Miyama (“Sweet Lemonade”).
I took up hand-to-hand combat, stunts and all the action again Takahito Ouchi, who was the stunt coordinator in the first trilogy "Kenshin's Vagabonds" (2012-2014).
For rental in your home country "Scum X" will go 9 September 2022 years.
The next trailer in our selection also belongs to a project from the Land of the Rising Sun.
We're talking about a crime thriller "Hells dogs" (Hell Dogs) director and screenwriter Masato Harada, which has already delighted fans of Japanese historical films with projects "Battle of Sekigahara" (2017) and "Burning Sword" (2021). These films featured a local star in the lead role. Junichi Okada, which we have been closely monitoring for several years.
Synopsis: Shogo is an aggressive and vengeful police officer traumatized by the murder of his girlfriend. The authorities can’t think of anything better than sending the main character to the Yakuza undercover. To do this, he is brought together with the swindler Hideki, with whom the policeman’s psychoanalysis coincides 98%.
Screen duet Junichi Okade (the Fable duology) compiled Kentaro Sakaguchi (“Disguised”), the rest of the caste includes: Mayu Matsuoka ("Shoplifters") Kazuki Kitamura (duology "Kill Bill") Shinobu Otake ("Samurai of Cat Fleas"), Masanori Mimoto (“Rebirth”), famous musician, singer and actor Miyavi (“Bleach,” “Supernatural,” “Kate”) and other actors.
For rent "Hells dogs" will go 16 September 2022 years. In the meantime, you can watch the trailer.
Chinese martial artist, stuntman and actor Ngai Sin (Aka Colin Chow), who is already 54 years old, dropped out of major projects a long time ago, and like many other popular action actors of the 90s and early XNUMXs, he went into films for online cinemas.
But we try to notice when Ngai appears in interesting action projects. This is what a crime thriller seemed like to us "Punish Evil" (Punish Evil) from the director Jiang Xiaotong (“Fake Bodyguard”, “I Am Not Dionysus”).
We didn’t find a detailed synopsis for the film, but judging by the trailer, the plot is almost similar to the Chinese action movie "Race Against Time" (2020) with Daniel Wu as the main villain (even the posters are similar!). Only in "Punish Evil" They brought in more melee weapons. Well... Or so it seems.
The main role in the film was played by the star of the series Zhao Da (TV series “Like a Flowing River”, “Rebirth”), but the image of the main local antagonist was given to Ngayu Sinu (DOA: Dead or Alive, The Flash, The Forbidden Kingdom). Also taking part in the film: Xiao Han (“Wonderful meeting”), Samuel Pan ("Macau") Wang Bingxiang (TV series “Breath of Fate”) and others.
The film is still out on Chinese streaming services. July 28, 2022. We hope that "Punish Evil" will be translated into Russian.
