-- Army Breaker (Po Jun) --

"According to Raymond Wong, Wilson Yip's next crime movie will be called ¡¶Æƾü¡· Po Jun (or P or Army Breaker - tentative), the second word from Sha Po Lang (SPL), which means destroying thousands of opponents in war. After some discussions, they decided to choose Army Breaker over various other titles, including ¡¶Ç¿Õ½Ãþ¯¡· Battling the Police Force. The US$8m Army Breaker begins production next month, with Donnie Yen, Louis Koo and some unnamed Chinese actresses playing the lead roles. The movie traces one of Hong Kong's darkest historical moments, depicting the fierce battles between the police and the triads before Hong Kong's sovereignty was handed over to China from United Kingdom on June 30, 1997. It's based on a true case in Macau concerning corruptions and conspiracies between the police and secret societies.

Donnie Yen and Louis Koo play two righteous police officers in the times when Macau was very turbulent, with frequent breakouts of gun fights and bombings. The police force was too weak to stand up against the triads. Majority of the police were bribed, and all Macau casinos were controlled by the triads. Donnie Yen plays a police officer who has just returned from training in Portugal. Out of social conscience, he begins an intense battle against the secret societies. Apparently, Louis Koo will Donnie Yen's buddy who is equipped with excellent martial arts ability too. It appears that there will be two main villains like SPL, the underworld gang leader and his able assistant."

he isn't. this one is sort of a sequel but with different characters and a new plot. the other with Sammo and Wu Jing is the true sequel (prequel actually).

Sounds pretty good!

I wonder if it's gonna be in a similar theme of Johnnie To's 'Election'. Also if Ma Kwan will be back (played by Donnie or someone else) or it's just a prequel altogether with Ma Kwan's character having little or no involvement.

I doubt it'd be called 'Killzone 2' unless it was a sequel.

For what it's worth, Po Jun/Army Breaker was an early title for what we now know as Flash Point. Flash Point was originally rumoured to be a sequel or prequel to SPL. I don't think so.

No.

There was to be additional footage shot displaying Sammo's character's relationship with Wu Jing's character (adoptive father-like). Wilson Yip wanted to create a prequel that explored this. Fatal Move was originally going to be a sequel to SPL along similar lines to what I just described but I think Abba Movies blocked it.

Yeah Fatal Move was supposed to be the prequel to SPL originally which is why it stars Samo, Wu Jing and Simon Yam but at some point it got changed and became an original story. Shame really as I didn't like Fatal Move much and think a prequel would of worked far better.

Action Director was Nicky Li Chung Chi. Never know if Sammo had input on it though.

I don't think he is that great when it comes to fight scenes, Wu Jing hasn't looked nearly as good in any of the films with Nicky has he did when Donnie choreographed him in SPL. As an action director I wouldn't put him up there with the best.
