ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHANGHAI: Philip Ng, Andy On And Sammo Hung Lay The Old School Beat Downs In Theatrical Trailers

The Wong Ching Po directed, Yuen Woo Ping choreographed martial arts film Once Upon A Time In Shanghai is rapidly approaching its theatrical release in Chinese speaking territories and that means the arrival of the proper theatrical teaser and trailer. And that means Philip Ng, Andy On and Sammo Hung throwing down old school style.

Yeah, this is a throwback in the right way - a period set exhibition of fighting skills featuring a bunch of guys who can really, really fight all under the watchful eye of one of the better young directors in the area. The story is as basic as it comes - Ng plays a laborer just trying to make a living in Shanghai who ends up relying on his fighting skills - but the style and execution are sure to put a smile on fight fans' faces. Take a look below.
