“Mad King” Poster
Martial arts star turned director Wang Baoqiang (Lost in Thailand), who is predominately known for co-starring alongside Donnie Yen in 2014’s Kung Fu Jungle, 2014’s Iceman and 2018’s Iceman: Time Traveller, is back in the director’s chair for Mad King (aka Tong War Chinatown).
Mad King follows Madd (Wang), a Chinese immigrant who arrives at New York’s Chinatown seeking survival, only to face discrimination and oppression under the Chinese Exclusion Act. Through his struggles, he gradually becomes a “hard guy” (tough guy) while offering a rare historical perspective on the hardships and resilience of the Chinese community during this difficult era.
Co-stars include Tony Leung Ka-fa (The Shadow’s Edge), Ti Lung (Opium and the Kung Fu Master), Yihong Duan (Wind Blast), Yongsheng Chen (Cliff Walkers) and Yuchang Peng (Gezhi Town).
Mad King arrives soon in Chinese theaters from Beijing Happy Pictures. Watch the Trailer below:
