We’ll soon see the return of kung fu movie legend Yuen Biao (knockabout, On The Run) in the suitably titled Heroes Return (read our review), from director Hu Guo.
Sure, we’ve seen the 3rd famous Seven Little Fortune return in semi-recent films like Sifu vs. Vampire and The Bodyguard, but hopefully with Heroes Return, he’ll be used to his fullest potential (yeah, yeah, we know he’s not the same young guy from Wheels on Meals, but we’re sure he still has some tricks up his sleeve).
Heroes Return also stars a handful of known Hong Kong actors like Ray Lui (To Be Number One), Ken Tong (Chasing the Dragon), Ng Man Tat (Shaolin Soccer), Kathy Chow (Cheap Killers) and Raquel Xu (Chasing the Dragon).
Heroes Return releases domestically on January 30, 2021. Don’t miss the Trailer for the film below, as well as some newly released character posters (via AFS):
Looks like there’s gonna be big screen time for Ray Lui (has he aged since To be number one ? I mean, he’s 64!!!!), which is fine by me. I love Yuen Biao, but he’s not really himself since 1988 (the beautiful underrated On the run and Dragons forever).
Today’s the day! I’m sure this is going to set China’s box office alight like a match in a typhoon. 🙂
Well… I guess somebody had prepared a fire extinguisher:
