Yeah see bits and bobs bout this...really hoping for a domestic Cinema release.

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???

Don't know

I thought Bluray.com was a US site.

Where are his replacements? He's obviously in incredible fitness but he cannot go on forever.

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.

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).

Any word on this getting a UK release?

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).

Fan Siu-wong? How old is he now? Wasnt he in Story of Ricky?

Beat TG · Post by **Beat TG** » 28 Dec 2011, 22:59

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.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 Dec 2011, 14:09

There's some truth to that.

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 young

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
