Member Gwai LO Posted May 3, 2014 Member Share Posted May 3, 2014 Whatever happened to wu jing and Scott Adkins movie that was filming like last year? I figured he would have needed to be on top of his game to go toe to toe with Adkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted May 4, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2014 So I'll wager this will be a different story than the one that was supposed to focus on Sammo's character? Could be very interesting regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ToryK Posted May 4, 2014 Member Share Posted May 4, 2014 Wow, color me stupid. I was so disappointed when I found out Pou Soi Cheang had been replaced with Terence Cheung. So--disappointed. My level of excitement had gone down until I found out that, uh, Terence Cheung is Pou Soi Cheang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought the same thing, back in the days when it was going to be 'SPL2: Army Breaker' - http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2908 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prison guard discovers Kit’s real identity and helps him to escape in return for his agreeing to save his daughter.

Damn it, I was hoping for Wu Jing and Jaa to battle it out and make it as epic as the fights when Sammo vs Yen got into each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they probably should have cast Jaa as a silent killer, similar to Wu Jing's character in the first one. Put Wu Jing front-and-center and watch the fireworks. Can you imagine the speed?!

Member Lionclaw Posted May 8, 2014 Member Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have no idea how this will come together with the language barrier unless Tony will be speaking english. Also if this is true prequel, are they saying that Wu Jing's psycho character in SPL was once a cop? I feel like this should just be a separate movie and they are just capitalizing on the name but I could be wrong. I enjoyed The Protector 2 so I may still enjoy this.

I believe the producers have already stated this is going to be a thematic sequel rather than a direct continuation / prequel, think the first 2 'Tiger Cage' movies. Simon Yam will however be reprising his role from the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ToryK Posted May 9, 2014 Member Share Posted May 9, 2014 Because that worked so well with 'Fatal Contact' & 'Legendary Assassin'. I guess what I meant was they should put his skirmishes with Jaa front-and-center. That's your selling point, and putting them on the same side lessens the effect of even having the two in the same movie, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily get into a scrap or two given their roles, at least early on. Who knows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted May 9, 2014 Author Member Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well, if you guys read carefully the bit with the prison guard having extraordinary skills to prevent the undercover cop to escape, it's pretty easy to imagine that there will be a fight scene between Wu and Jaa somewhere between Wu making an escape attempt and helping Jaa's daughter.

Member DiP Posted May 13, 2014 Author Member Share Posted May 13, 2014 Last I heard was that Sammo was going to return, not so sure now though. Donnie however is prepping for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2 this summer and Dragon City after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
