“Pharaoh’s War” Theatrical Poster
Early next year, ITN Distribution is releasing the Egyptian-made, Expendables-esque Desert Strike (aka Pharaoh’s War or Hamlet Pheroun) to U.S. audiences.
Desert Strike features Mike Tyson (Ip Man 3), Game of Thrones star/pro strongman Hafthor Bjornssen (Kickboxer: Retaliation) and Egyptian pro bodybuilder Big Ramy, appearing alongside local stars Amr Saad, recording artist Rouby and Mohamed Lotfy.
An ex-military man, Rick (Tyson), with a mysterious past leads and protects a group of Egyptian refugees through bombarded cities in the desert land when a group of mercenaries, led by Frank, kidnap the refugees’ kids and an attractive young woman, Rama, while imprisoning Rick. With the help of Rama, Rick escapes the prison and battles the guards in an effort to save the kids.
Don’t you dare miss the film’s Trailer below (via FCS):
Well, based on that description, I was expecting something terrible, but it doesn’t look that bad. Maybe it will be, but the trailer was edited well.
I’d totally give this a watch.
Um, I’d totally watch it. Surely that will be a box office smash hit in its homeland.
First the Egyptians got their hands on Scott Adkins, and now they’ve got them on Mike Tyson! Expect an Egyptian action flick with Steven Seagal to be announced anytime now!
LOL this is going to be bad except maybe couple of fight scenes. P. S. And that muzzle flashes LOL. You can find better free muzzle flashes in google LOL
I’m….actually not opposed to seeing this. It looks kind of interesting, to be honest.
