I found out something very interesting on shooting the film involving co-star Kevin Cheng and director Fruit Chan:

The new year just started but Kevin Cheng Ka Wing by chance ran into legal trouble in Macau. Yesterday around 3AM he returned to Hong Kong with his film company public relations and assistant. After resting for most of the day, Ka Wing yesterday worked on a video with DRAGON TATTOO (GAU LUNG BUK BAI) director Fruit Chan Gor to respond to the matter and provide an update. He joked that he had a "police station meal". Chan Gor said that he was working on a Macau plain clothes cop scene outside the Macau Army Club museum while the equipment was in a vehicle. The pink building was very pretty and looked like a large Macau police station, but after the shoot he found out that they broke the law. The building was the security bureau office building and a restricted area that prohibited any photography, thus they were invited back to the police station to assist with the investigation. Chan Gor joked that the police station food was even more delicious than the rice boxes on the set. Ka Wing said that the police officer recommended curry chicken and rice tasted good.

DRAGON's boss Raymond Wong Pak Ming last night said, "We applied for the production outside the building, but omitted to apply for the shoot inside. They entered the building to shoot without authorization. You know the 80s and the 90s directors would take all kinds of risk for the best result, even if they were not authorized they might shoot in secret. They were wrong in the entire matter and should apologize. Chan Gor had to bear the responsibility of an apology."

Fruit Chan apologized and he and Kevin Cheng returned to Hong Kong after spending eight hours with Macau police.

2017 looks like a good year for action films, cant keep up.

Let alone this is the Year of the Zhang...I mean Max has The Invincible Dragon, The Brink, and Cheung Tin-Chi all due for release sometime this year. Pegasus Motion Pictures' Raymond Wong already said that Max is going to be the next "martial arts superstar" and this could be the triple threat to confirm that! Plus, he's starring in a new action film with his wife, HK actress Ada Choi called Ten Ton Assassin that is supposed to lens sometime this year as well.

I hope Max Zhang won't turn into another Wu Jing. Hype is good but you gotta be careful with promoting new talent.

This looks interesting though, out of all his upcoming movies. Plus Tung Wai's doing the action.

Is there an embargo on Cannes movies? Apparently both this and "Master Z: Ip Man Legacy" screened and yet no one has said a single thing.

You could be onto something there, didnt Full Love get a one off screening at Cannes?, only to be put on ice?. The Cannes Martial Arts movie curse?.

With no updates on this movie, I’m assuming it won’t be coming out in 2018 now :(

Mike Leeder has weighed in with his thoughts that this should be the next Zhang Jin movie released after Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy hits theaters next month. And this recent article claims it’ll have a 1st quarter release in 2019! https://www.screendaily.com/features/afm-2018-the-buzz-titles-from-hong-kong-and-china/5134200.article

 

Fingers crossed, that 2019, is the year of The Invincible Dragon.

Pegasus Motion Pictures just posted something about this on Facebook last Wednesday. I don’t know if the event footage was recent or not but this film should finally be getting released soon I would think!
