China Salesman (aka Tribal Warfare) (2017) Ethan Li, Steven Seagal, Mike Tyson

[DragonClaws]

Blink and you might miss Steven Seagals very brief appearances, in the trailer for Tan Bing's China Salesman(2017).

I was made aware of this trialer via Ricky Bakers Twitter account, Link- https://twitter.com/easternheroes1?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

action looks good, some good gunplay as well

Mike Tyson looks like he might get few fight scenes, but there's only a very brief shot of Seagal doing some moves. Tyson has been a fan of Asian cinema years, and now he's getting to star in some movies over there.

Hope the extended trialer reveals a bit more of the action, when its released. Not that there was a shortage in the brief teaser above.

New trailer.

Seeing Steven Seagal trying to throw some shapes these days is laughable. That said, this does look pretty entertaining.

I haven't laughed like that for quite some time....an action movie based on 2 rival telecoms companies bidding to work in Africa!  Seriously!?

"As Susanna wants this bid to be in sync with the latest technology, I suggest we change the standard to 3G."

There's a lot at stake here!

On a sidenote, I read that Seagal didn't turn up for much of the shoot, even the parts he was supposed to be involved in.

Another Chinese action movie set in Africa? This one looks worse than WOLF WARRIOR 2 and OPERATION RED SEA. And if the story isn't ridiculous enough, the flag-waving is. And what about the horrible English?

[ShaOW!linDude]

Tyson sounds dubbed to me.

They even crammed in a brief shot of Seagal in his tradmark glasses, though he' appears to have ditched them for the fight scenes.

The Tyson-Seagal fight apparently happens about 6 minutes into the film according to Silver Spleen's Sean Tierney, who posted a reaction video

Anyone here on the forum got round to watching this one yet?.

 

 

[DragonClaws]

This production will be getting a limited Theatrical release in the U.S, debuting on April 20th, followed by a May 1st debut on VOD.

 

Seagal never moved to Russia, he's really runs a bar in Africa.

 

Re-posting the trailer, as the previous links have gone down.

Looks like this one will be released on Blu-Ray & DVD in the U.S, on 26th of June, with a Digital release on the 1st of May.

 

Seagal must have mis-placed his orange sunglasses?.

cunt!

There's a few high quality flicks still awaiting a British release, and dross like this, get's a DVD/BR release. That not before there's been a new misleading title slapped on the cover art work. The back of the coer is just as miseading, gives you the ipression Tyson and Seagal are the centre of the story etc. Some poor saps gonna pay full price for this, the kind of flick that would put someone off Asian cinema, rather than turn them onto it.

Janicke Askevold looks like Dakota Fanning. Without the shades, she looks like Eva Green gone blonde.

It's a very horrible film. The brief Tyson-Seagal fight wasn't even that good...but Tyson's fight against 3 members of Seagal's crew was the only good fight of the film.

I was actually surprised to see Seagal or rather his double lose to Tyson.
