Member whitesnake Posted July 4, 2018 Member Share Posted July 4, 2018 The Bravest Escort Group is directed by Tao Mengxi, who has only directed one other movie, The Making of a Man, according to IMDB. Bravest Escort Group synopsis - "Set during the beginnings of the Qing dynasty, the film revolves around a Ming general who hires a group of warriors to escort his daughter and her son safely across the Qingyi River." It will be released in China on August 24th, 2018. (From http://www.fareastfilms.com) New slightly longer (no English subs) Official Iqiyi trailer (from twitter.com/AsianFilmStrike) - Since that trailer disappeared, here's something from 5 months ago, even longer, including some fight scenes and English subtitles - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted July 26, 2018 Author Member Share Posted July 26, 2018 I hope Well Go USA picks this up. It seems like something they might go for and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it ends up being an unexpected treat like “God of War.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted July 27, 2018 Moderator Share Posted July 27, 2018 An increasing number of these Mainland Chinese kung-fu movies are exclusively made for pay-per-view internet platforms, I kind of wonder if this isn't another one of them.

Member Drunken Monk Posted August 21, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 21, 2018 It's been confirmed that this will be premiering on a streaming service in China so we probably shouldn't expect a DVD release any time soon. Or possibly ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member whitesnake Posted August 29, 2018 Member Share Posted August 29, 2018 Here's a movie review of The Bravest Escort Group at https://asianfilmstrike.wordpress.com/2018/08/28/the-bravest-escort-group-2018-review/ "Long Story Short: The Bravest Escort Group is narratively inept, at times technically shoddy, yet packed with fine action scenes."

That bad, huh? Damn it, I was expecting some solid fights at least. I mean, I didn't look like a classic but the trailer made it looks like a fun time.
