"Magnificent Butcher" Hong Kong Theatrical Poster
There’s just no stopping director/legendary choreographer Yuen Woo-ping (Magnificent Butcher). Hot on the heels of his recent high profile projects – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny and Ip Man 3 – Yuen is getting ready to start yet another martial arts project titled Hand Over Fist.
According to THR, Hand Over Fist is the tale of a 600-year-long feud between ancient rival kung fu masters that draws modern Hong Kong protagonists into the action. No further details are available at this time.
In addition to Hand Over Fist, Yuen also has his hands busy with Miracle Fighters, a remake of a supernatural kung fu film he directed in 1982. As for Yuen’s Vigilantes: The Lost Order (his The Matrix meets Wall Street flick)… let’s just say it’s put on hold indefinitely, which is probably a good thing.
We’ll keep you updated on Hand Over Fist as we hear more!
