Member Lionclaw Posted March 5, 2012 Member Share Posted March 5, 2012 Man, I was really looking forward to watching them fight. I like Andy and all, but I think he gets doubled way too much. Hopefully this turns out all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted March 6, 2012 Author Member Share Posted March 6, 2012 Donnie meets up with Andy On to discuss script details on the latter's role. A bit of good news is that Donnie hopes to have another chance to collaborate with Zhao. http://hktopten.blogspot.com/2012/03/20120306-donnie-yen-plots-fight-with.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 8, 2012 Author Member Share Posted March 8, 2012 Donnie and his stunt crew are prepping the fight choreography for the film. Good old John Salvitti (In the Line Of Duty 4, Tiger Cage 2) will be one of the action choreographers. http://www.weibo.com/donnieyen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MLee Posted March 11, 2012 Member Share Posted March 11, 2012 I was really looking forward to seeing Donnie Yen and Vincent Zhao together in the same movie so it's a shame they couldn't work it out. But I like Andy On so I'm interested to see what they come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when striking a fighting stance, Keanu looks stiff and robotic as his acting. Btw, getting Andy On (aka Mr. Mediocre) to replace Vincent Zhao is like replacing a lion for a lamb. Donnie will now have to downgrade the fight choreography to tailor to his limited abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie will now have to downgrade the fight choreography to tailor to his limited abilities. There's nothing wrong with Andy On's onscreen fighting if you ask me (at least after 2010). He did a marvelous job on True Legend and The Lost Bladesman and is superior to Nicholas Tse and Shawn Yue imo. He has shown effort in excelling himself in onscreen fighting in a way many other non-MA actors have yet to reach. I think he's going to be in Andy Lau, Alan Tam and Aaron Kwok's level of sheer action performance with the continuous strive of improvement he's doing now.

I disagree but that's your opinion:tongue: having said that if it isn't a good example I'm expecting some pretty amazing stuff from his other films.

Member DiP Posted March 24, 2012 Author Member Share Posted March 24, 2012 Andy's part (Kong Xiu) played a vital role in the warring period but he's restricted to an extended cameo only appearing in the longest and best fight scene in the film.

Member AlbertV Posted March 25, 2012 Member Share Posted March 25, 2012 Andy performed quite well in LOOKING FOR MR. PERFECT in terms of action IMO. And Nicky Li was the choreographer of the fights. When I saw BLACK MASK 2, I noted in my review for Jade Screen Magazine that given the right training and continuing further, Andy would have the potential to be an action star. He has been training under Philip Ng since 2003 in martial arts, when Ng was a member of Chin Kar-Lok's team, training him for STAR RUNNER.

Member DiP Posted April 1, 2012 Author Member Share Posted April 1, 2012 According to Mtime.com, Collin Chou has joined the cast! Apparently, Chou was already invited to co-star in the film back in October last year but due to schedule conflicts he had to turn down the offer. His role will be announced very soon. http://news.mtime.com/2012/03/31/1485533.html http://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.mtime.com%2F2012%2F03%2F31%2F1485533.html (translated in English) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mark187 Posted April 3, 2012 Member Share Posted April 3, 2012 reminds me a lot of Flash Point, I wonder what direction Donnie is taking the choreography with this one? awesome to hear he'll have a rematch with Collin Chou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member QueMuchita Posted April 3, 2012 Member Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah it does kind of look like Flash Point, although i hope the fight choreography isn't the same, I get bored real quick with that MMA style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AbeRudder Posted April 3, 2012 Member Share Posted April 3, 2012 Glad to see him doing another modern, was getting tired of him doing period flicks. I'd love to see more spl/flashpoint style fighting from him, he's the only guy so far that's made a good mma style fight sequence so i hope he expands on that.

Member CatNap Posted April 5, 2012 Member Share Posted April 5, 2012 This is just getting nasty..... Entertainment News Celebs take sides as Donnie Yen, Vincent Chiu feud escalates HONG KONG: The ongoing feud between Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen and Chinese martial arts actor Vincent Chiu has escalated recently, with Yen suing Chiu for making false claims about his conduct on the set of Yen's new action film "Special Identity". As things heat up, celebrities in Hong Kong and China have also begun taking sides in the conflict. Stars like Hong Kong actresses Shu Qi and Kara Hui expressed their support for Yen, while others like Hong Kong veteran action star Yuen Wah and Chinese actress Xu Jiao spoke out in support of Chiu, reported Hong Kong media. "Donnie Yen is very serious in whatever he does and thinks of ways to make sure every single frame is perfect. "Even when the weather is cold and he is shivering, cramping up, when he hears 'Action', Donnie Yen will immediately perform without a single word of complaint," said Shu Qi, who had worked with Yen in 2011's "Legend of the Fist", over her micro blog. "Donnie, I have known you since you were young, I know you are passionate about film and have high expectations of yourself. "I hope you won't be affected by all these controversies. Keep going!" said Hui, who had worked with Yen in 2011's "Wu Xia" in a micro blog post. Hong Kong actor Chapman Toh and director Wong Jing have expressed their support for Yen as well, but Chiu too has his supporters. "I worked with Vincent Chiu on 'Wu Dang' and feel that he is very enthusiastic about his work, personable … I believe Instructor Chiu, strongly support him!" said "CJ7" star, Chinese actress Xu Jiao. Yuen Wah, who had appeared in countless Hong Kong action films, echoed Xu's sentiments and backed Chiu. Chiu himself has since dug in his heels and declared that he is ready to fight it out with Yen in court, even if this spat causes irreparable damage to his acting career. "All ten properties I bought at a low price in Beijing are now worth six times more. "Even if I stop working, I won't have any difficulty getting by," Chiu told the media recently, in response to Yen's announcement that he would take Chiu to court. "This issue affects my reputation. I must get justice, because they have insulted my professionalism." And this: Shu Qi becomes a casualty of Donnie Yen, Vincent Chiu feud HONG KONG: Hong Kong actress Shu Qi has become a casualty of the ongoing feud between action stars Donnie Yen and Vincent Chiu. Netizens who supported Chiu were apparently unhappy that Shu Qi had earlier declared her support for Yen in the dispute between the two martial arts stars, and attacked her over her micro-blog. They recently posted photos from her early days as a soft-porn actress on her micro blog, and flooded her micro blog's comments section with negative comments about her, reported Hong Kong media. Shu Qi has since shut down her micro blog. Shortly after, Yen, who has had a similar experience with unruly netizens posting malicious messages on his micro blog, expressed regret that Shu Qi had become a target because of him. "I am sorry for dragging everyone into this. "In the face of such rampant cyber-violence, I feel powerless, hurt and outraged!" said Yen in a micro blog post on Monday, adding that "those who want to act like hooligans online" should attack his micro blog instead. Chiu also spoke out about this matter on Monday, and clarified over his micro blog that the rumours which claimed he had instigated these attacks were untrue. "Everything I have said and done is aboveboard," said Chiu, going on to express that he hoped these malicious netizens will be identified and dealt with, by the company that provides the micro blogging service. Shu Qi appears to be taking things in her stride. In a long article on her official fan site on Tuesday, the actress said she was actually "grateful" to the people who have hurt her, because their actions allowed her to continue "to learn and to grow". Shu Qi went on to say that she "just needed a little bit of time" and assured her fans that she would soon bounce back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
