A RMB 250 million epic period piece,

spices up the well-known actioner cum family drama by casting some of the most popular stars from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, as well as veteran Adam CHENG who hasn’t graced the big screen for over 20 years. Director Ronny YU commented, “Many people today regard filial piety and other traditional Chinese values as something trivial, even laughable. With this film I aim to encourage audiences to reflect on fundamental moral attitudes while enjoying the riveting action of the legendary Yang brothers.”

Speaking of his collaboration with several up-and-coming actors after a long break from film acting, Adam CHENG said jokingly, “They may be younger, but I look just as cool in the fighting sequences. Thanks to our action choreographer Stephen TUNG, whose meticulous design brought out our most dazzling potential and made possible numerous unique and mind-blowing battle scenes!”
