Member DiP Posted June 14, 2014 Member Share Posted June 14, 2014 Ringo Lam's first project out of two -- tentatively titled Bou Chau Mai Sing in Cantonese -- recently started production in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The cast includes Shawn Yue, Taiwanese singer Joseph Chang, and veteran actor Jack Kao who previously worked with Lam on Full Alert.

Member mpm74 Posted June 14, 2014 Member Share Posted June 14, 2014 So I take it this is not Intoxicated City of Mazes, which was supposed to star Daniel Wu and Shawn Yue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted June 14, 2014 Author Member Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think that might be the second project but since his name has been removed from the title at IMDB I'm not sure now. I'll inform you when I dig up more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll inform you when I dig up more about it. What confuses me is when news of "Intoxicated" broke out, it was reported that production would start in June of 2014, which pinpoints that fact to "Wild Secrets". Unless Ringo Lam and Shawn Yue are shooting two movies simultaneously? Definitely let me know what you dig up. I couldn't find anything to think it's a different movie, other than the disappearance of Daniel Wu (and the title change). Regardless, I hope Ringo didn't lose his touch. Looking forward to his gritty crime movies again! I like how he's going directly into hardcore stuff... and not making a love story starring Takeshi Kaneshiro! =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted June 14, 2014 Author Member Share Posted June 14, 2014 You may have a good point there. Let's wait and see some clarification regarding this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mpm74 Posted June 19, 2014 Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hands down, Louis Koo is the new Simon Yam...appearing in everything and then some...LOL or Anthony Wong? I'm getting sick of looking at Louis Koo. Ever since Flash Point, I always looked at him as a p-ssy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted June 19, 2014 Author Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 Normally don't care about Koo but he did exceptionally well in the Election films and Accident. I think working with To more would greatly benefit for him as an all-round performer. To has the ability to bring out the best of many HK actors being type-casted or sticking with their usual screen personas. Richie Ren, Lau Ching-Wan, Simon Yam, Anthony Wong, Roy Cheung... I could go on forever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted March 23, 2015 Author Member Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have faith in R. Lam but I'm hoping for a minimal usage of CGI in shootouts and car chases/destructions that continues to plague HK action cinema. uiBAiw7tSZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
