I wish more people put this kind of effort into their threads. Well done. This is my first exposure to Donnie Yen but the trailer looks fantastic. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.
*** replaced video link with a 720p cantonese version. Translations added *** Much appreciated Mark! Thanks. Donnie Yen has been in the action and film making industry since his early 20s, he was actually born and raised in Boston Massachusetts! Been a major fan of the guy because he was an underdog in the industry, with the exception of Quentin Tarantino and Guillermo Del Toro vocally taking notice. His skill and eye for action choreography was largely overlooked for two decades by audiences worldwide until he returned in a big way in 2005's Sha Po Lang. Moreover, he took the action genre by storm and gained international notoriety with the 2008 hit, Ip Man (biopic of Bruce Lee's master). Since his return, he single-handedly reinvigorated the entire action genre of Hong Kong. And despite being 49 years of age, he is showing no signs of stopping, taking up two to three film projects per year. He was nicknamed Hong Kong's 'Lone Wolf' for years, until his worldwide recognition drove media to dub him as Asia's 'Last Dragon'.
