If not I'm sure Cine Asia may acquire this or it'll be on HK DVD/BD.
Can't believe Donnie Yen is 50 now

I guess its early days yet.
Where is Cine Asia's forum meant to be? Somewhere at Bluray.com or something???

Where are his replacements? He's obviously in incredible fitness but he cannot go on forever.grim_tales wrote:Can't believe Donnie Yen is 50 now
Me too. I've not seen a Chinese (non-drama) movie in the cinema for ages. It does look really good. I've still to see Ip Man, it was on TV last month. I recorded it.luckystars wrote:Yeah see bits and bobs bout this...really hoping for a domestic Cinema release.
Doesn't Wu Xia mean Chivalrous Hero? I wonder if that will be it's international title.

I really don't know.
Jackie Wu is in "Shaolin" I think?, hard to believe he was in films 15 years ago himself (Tai Chi Boxer).

I see the highest potentials in Vincent Zhao (The Blade, True Legend) being the next big star after Donnie retires in front of the camera, followed by Fan Siu-Wong and maybe Xing Yu (if he can pass through the type-casting).bradavon wrote:Where are his replacements?

He's 37 this year (born 1974). Though I don't think he's a great actor (decent at best) I'm sure he will mature some day.

Give the dude an English name and he'd be a star straight away, guaranteed.

You've only got to look at Yuen Biao to know that.

38 according to IMDB but that still only makes him about 17/18 in Story of Ricky - didnt know he was so youngBeat TG wrote:He's 37 this year (born 1974). Though I don't think he's a great actor (decent at best) I'm sure he will mature some day.

Re: Wu Xia (Donnie Yen, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Dir: Peter Chan)
Sorry for bumping this old thread, is this marked for a UK release?
Was thinking of just ordering the HK BD
Edit: It seems its been released in Australia too but the Australian release is longer? HK release = 114 minutes - AU release = 126 minutes
