Second Trailer For Action Comedy FIST OF DRAGON

As much as I revere the top veterans in the world of action filmmaking, its always welcoming to to see some new blood to bring something fresh to the table.  Enter Michael Chuah, the Malaysian-based writer, director and lead actor to his debut action film Fist of Dragon (龍拳) with producer from Ip Man 2 and 14 Blades.  It was back in 2009 when we first caught wind of this project and for a long while, it seems there were some delay issues but its finally getting a release this summer which only means another trailer is in order to announced its arrival.  Being a fan of Jet Li and Jackie Chan himself, Chuah was inspired to fill the void of stand-strong heroic protagonist left from these older generation in Hong Kong cinema during the 90's.  So will he be the next raising martial arts superstar?  I leave that entirely up to you to decide.  Other cast member include Fiona Xie (Rule#1), Henry Thia (Love Matters) and Wang Xiao Chen (Legend Of The Condor Heroes).

"Fist of Dragon" tells the story of Li, who comes to South East Asia by the request of his father to help out his uncle who has been facing financial difficulties. Li, upon arriving in the town, feels out of place due to the differences in cultures of the people here. When he discovers that his uncle has been facing many hardships posed by the local mobsters, Li decided to stay and to help his uncle and get rid of them. However, Li encounter numerous resistances from the locals as Li's action brings the wrath of the triad and drags the whole town into turmoil. Moreover, his uncle's daughter, Lily is on the triad side, and their relationship is badly affected when the confrontation between the two groups reach its peak.

The theatrical release date in Singapore is on August 22th.  You'll find the second trailer (English subtitles included) embedded below.
