2020 is already looking great with Yuen Biao returning in front of the camera for Heroes Return and Sammo Hung sitting back in the director’s chair with The Medal of the Dawn (via Alejandro Torres), an upcoming action film starring Janice Man (The Brink), Ashton Chen Xiaolong (Shaolin Popey), Nick Cheung (The Trough) and Oho Ou (The Captain).
Not much is known of the plot, but if its preliminary poster and press conference is any indication, expect military-type action (and possibly some air combat?). In fact, The Medal of the Dawn marks Hung’s first film of this type since he directed the brilliantly militant Eastern Condors in 1987.
We’ll keep you updated on Medal of the Dawn as we learn more. For now, check out the film’s New Teaser Poster (via AFS).
Hm, sounds like another chinese propaganda war film. And given the disappointment that was Sammo’s last directoral work I’m not very optimistic. Sammo Hung’s time as a great action director is over, now he’s just one of many wire afficionados among the chinese movie industry who just can’t get The Matrix out of his head.
“now he’s just one of many wire afficionados among the chinese movie industry who just can’t get The Matrix out of his head.” LMAO!
