Member mpm74 Posted September 6, 2017 Member Share Posted September 6, 2017 This MMA-style film starring Donnie Yen and directed by Kam Kar-wai (Colour of the Game) is currently in production, which means it may be his next released film?

Member DiP Posted September 6, 2017 Member Share Posted September 6, 2017 This must be the third project Yen is producing. Looks like he's starring in all three movies he's producing at the same time. One drama movie and two action movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mpm74 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Member Share Posted March 19, 2018 One of Donnie Yen’s next films is Big Brother, an upcoming MMA-themed actioner directed by Kam Kar-wai whose Color of the Game recently opened in theaters. Very little is known about Big Brother, but from what we’re able to gather, the movie features MMA fighters, stuntmen and other players in the action film genre, including Jess Liaudin (Night Fare), Brahim Acchabkhe (Boyka: Undisputed IV), Craig Miller (The Brothers Grimsby), Tom Caserto (My War), Semiquaver Iafeta (Unbeatable), Lockhart Ogilvie (Level Up) and industry figure, Mike Leeder (Ultimate Justice). http://cityonfire.com/donnie-yen-to-deliver-some-mma-in-kam-kar-wais-big-brother/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted March 19, 2018 Member Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think this looks fun. The plot isn't exactly anything we haven't seen before but it looks like it's done pretty well here. Sadly, not enough of a glimpse of the action!

Member DiP Posted March 19, 2018 Member Share Posted March 19, 2018 At this point in Hong Kong action movies, all we're getting are loose stories of real kung fu masters, drug deals gone wrong, cops after criminals/serial killers, Chinese military units helping out other countries fighting terrorists/drug lords etc. So seeing an actioner that resolves around the Hong Kong educational system is something refreshing, it's a rarity today. Last great one I can think of is Ringo Lam's School on Fire, and that was 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted June 1, 2018 Member Share Posted June 1, 2018 Synopsis: Henry Chen (Donnie Yen), who just started working as a high school teacher, is faced with a crisis that his school might be scuttled by the government. As his students are all poor in conducts and academics, Henry has to use unconventional teaching methods and finally manages to tame all of them. Just when everything seems to work out, Henry is faced with another crisis yet again – he becomes the target of criticism and blame. Once again, the battle-hardened veteran has to put aside his teacher identity and set out on an ultimate battle to defend the school. http://www.moviexclusive.com/detail.php?c=201&desc=2018&p=5210&t=big-brother-228232407220804-2018_5210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted June 2, 2018 Member Share Posted June 2, 2018 So it’s “Sister Act 2” with kung fu. I’m on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted June 2, 2018 Member Share Posted June 2, 2018 I often see people comparing the movie premise to Japanese series GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka). Could be a combo of both, at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be good I have seen similar plots work well in a few top films like the principal, class of 1984. But not seen that style of combined action & teaching for ages . From trailer it looks pretty good as long as it does not get too sentimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
