Unity of Heroes | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)
RELEASE DATE: May 28, 2019
On May 28, 2019, Well Go USA is releasing the Blu-ray for Lin Zhen-Hao’s The Unity of Heroes (read our review), starring martial arts star Vincent Zhao (True Legend), who will once again be playing real-life folk hero Wong Fei-hung.
Throughout the years, Wong Fei-hung has been portrayed by various stars, most notably Kwan Tak-hing (Story of Wong Fei-hung), Jackie Chan (Drunken Master), Jet Li (Once Upon A Time in China), and Eddie Peng (Rise of the Legend).
The Unity of Heroes (read our review) marks the 5th time Zhao will be playing the iconic character (not counting the sequel). He previously played him in Once Upon a Time in China IV-V, the Wong Fei Hung TV Series, and of course, Kung Fu Alliance.

I’d like to start a petition to have Eddie Peng’s name in this post replaced by Angie Tsang. 😛
This looks like it could be fun, ridiculously patriotic, but the choreography seems to be a throwback to the post-Matrix era. If someone showed me that trailer & told me it was released around the same time as ‘Romeo Must Die’, I’d probably believe them.
Over the top wire fu to fast to fake. When I spot this in the trailer
The whole movie normally sucks.doesn’t make any since to pay a real martial artist and then film like this I thing
Sammos version. Can’t be beat for a while its a shame because this story line. looks good
I like this trailer. I like the combination of 90’s and 00’s wire fu. Vincent Zhao doesn’t seem to want to age.
I hope his attitude has improved since his fallout with Donnie Yen over Special ID.
These recent Chinese fantasy blockbusters (‘Legend of the Naga Pearls’ – I’m looking at you) must be selling well for them to have picked up a vintage flick like ‘Legend of Zu’.
I’m thinking it’s the 2015 series.
I think we’re both wrong…looks to be the 2018 Mainland fantasy flick –

Ok, Im a little ignorant perhaps, but I really want to ask this … Has mainland China ever made a really great martial arts film? I mean something on the level of the great Hong Kong ones. It seems every historical epic they make is just a reaction to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Taiwan). There may be some new-school stuff they have done that ios “great”, which Im not aware of, but otherwise I can really only think of Shoalin Temple.. They kind of missed the great period of the 70s/80s when action cinema was at its artistic peak in Asia.
Forgive my ignorance oh masters of martial arts cinema! (City On Fire folk)
I’m pretty much in agreement with all of the old school titles which are listed here.
One which isn’t mentioned that I also really enjoyed, is ‘Death at the Carefree Mansion’.
Let me guess another wong Fei hung Movie.Dam it seems like the mainland chinese producers can’t come up with a original story line.
