"Turning Point 2" Chinese Theatrical Poster
Since retiring from the film business, the Shaw Brothers have transformed into a successful television production studio known as TVB. One of their biggest hits was a series called Lives of Omission starring Michael Tse. That show was actually a spin-off of another franchise – confused yet? – but the link between all of them was the popularity of Michael Tse’s character, known as Laughing Gor. This character, a tough undercover cop out to take on the Triads, was popular enough to earn his own feature film with 2009’s Turning Point.
Now last year’s sequel, Turning Point 2, is ready to hit Hong Kong blu-ray and DVD on February 23. Your friends at DDDHouse have the All-Region blu-ray for only $17.31 and the Region 3 DVD for $13.85. This movie was second only to Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol at the Hong Kong box office back in January.
Even if you’re not familiar with the Laughing Gor character, the trailer promises plenty of action and intrigue, and the cast features some impressive acting talent in Francis Ng, Chapman To, Bosco Wong, Kara Hui, Kate Tsui and Janice Man.
