"Legend Of The Dragon" : New Sammo Hung
It seems that while everyone's been fixated on Sammo Hung's upcoming clash with Donnie Yen in Sha Po Lang - still no trailer! argh! - the man snuck out and directed himself another one to call his own. Shot in late 2004 Legend of the Dragon is slated for an April release and sounds as though it's going to be an old school Hong Kong martial arts film ... So far the only english information I can find on this one is from Wu Jing - it's not even listed on Sammo's official site - so here's their summary:
"Legend of the Dragon, a new action movie directed by Sammo Hung in late 2004 sometime after completion of Sha Po Lang and starring Huang Xiao Ming, Sammo Hung, Timmy Hung, Leung Kar Yan, Richard Ng, Carl Ng, is slated for release in China in early April. Apart from Sammo Hung who did the martial arts choreography, China's Taichi champion Li Hui was also roped in to assist in fight choreography, which will showcase obscure martial arts like lizard crawl and bone-shrinking skill, and also see a duel between Taichi and karate. Mainland actor Huang Xiao Ming, whose career is given a major boost since starring in TV adaptation of Jin Yong's Return of Condor Heroes that is wrapping up production soon, takes on the leading role as Qi Le Tian, one who is gifted in martial arts, while Timmy Hung plays Qi Le Tian's buddy and colleague. Both work as couriers and thanks to his agility, Qi Le Tian always gets the parcels delivered on time. Otherwise, he has little use for his skills, until a karate expert, played by Carl Ng, starts nursing grudges against him. So, he seeks help from his father Qi Long (Sammo Hung), a renowned Taichi master."
Yeah, nice, another new Sammo movie, KICK ASS!!!!!
