"Legendary Amazons" Teaser Poster
The poster for the upcoming action-drama Legendary Amazons has been revealed. Director Frankie Chan Fun Kei (who is famous for his endless line of Hong Kong film scores) says that he added the romance involving Mu Guiying (Cecilia Cheung) and Yang Zongbao (Richie Jen), so that the movie had more to offer than just the brutality of war. He also pointed out that even Big Brother Jackie Chan was touched after seeing a rough cut of the film.

Updates: Asian Cult Cinema has your first look at the trailer for the film. TheGoldenRock of LoveHKFilm reports via Twitter that Legendary Amazons has made only HK$210k from 20 screens over 4 days. It’s not likely the film will even achieve HK$1 million. This has fueled some speculation that Cecilia Cheung has become box office poison.
BREAKING NEWS: Legendary Amazons may be old news at the Chinese box office but it’s only about to be released in the UK on May 14, 2012. You can scope out a new UK trailer at Beyond Hollywood. Meanwhile, your friends at online retailer DDDHouse offer Legendary Amazons on All-Region DVD.
Legendary Amazons doesn’t do poor because of any actress. It’s just an awfully bad film. It’s word of mouth. All advertising won’t help if a film looks as cheap and is poorly directed as this one. Embarrassing for Chinese film culture.
LOL! That bad, huh? Maybe Frankie should stick to synth scores. :/
