Xu Haofeng, the filmmaker behind 2015’s The Final Master and 2017’s The Hidden Sword, teams up with co-director Xu Junfeng for 100 Yards, an upcoming martial arts film that will be released by Well Go USA on November 8th.
100 Yards stars Jacky Heung (League of Gods), Andy On (Abduction, Undercover Punch and Gun, Black Mask 2: City of Masks), Hayden Kuo (Kung Fu Monster) and Li Yuan (The Guillotines).
The film is set in 1920s Tianjin, northern China, and centres on the rivalry between the son of a martial arts master and his most talented apprentice. When the old master dies, the two face off to take over his prominent martial arts academy. But rather than obey the rule of settling disputes behind closed doors, they take their fight to the street (via SD).
Director Xu Haofeng made a name for himself by penning the screenplay for Wong Kar-Wai’s The Grandmaster. But it was 2011’s The Sword Identity, his directorial debut, which showed Xu’s true talent, who often showcases martial arts sequences in a less stylized and more realistic manner.

Jacky heung …. Ewwww
I liked The final master A LOT, so let’s see how it happens…
Andy On + Xu Haofeng?!
Bring it on!
Looks pretty cool. I know Final Master wasn’t for everyone, but I like Xu Haofeng’s introspective style.
I actually like this style and The premise so far. It looks interesting
This is a movie I would be interested in seeing big time
It reminds me a little of warrior on HBO in a good way
I agree
Same here, that’s looking pretty sweet!
I liked The final master (if it had been a “Hong Kong” movie, it would have had better reviews in the West…like the two Brotherhood of blades).
The trailer looks very very cool, can’t wait for the Well Go USA Blu-Ray!
