Jiang Lu-Xia should star in one of the roles. The release is scheduled for Chinese New Year (2013).
but you will see Sammo in the choreography of Wu Ping.
But I'm still upset...
My pleasure. But I'm upset. So Chow and Sammo won't act together?
I read about Ng’s participation long before the news about Chow Yun-fat appeared, last year, but I like this scenario (with battles, not gangster shootouts) better.
