More news on Dennis Law’s Fatal Move/Duo Shuai [夺帅]
Posted by Mack at 8:16pm.
Posted in Film News , Martial Arts, Action, Asia.
The production for Dennis Law’s triad feud pic, Fatal Move/Duo Shuai [夺帅], had its inauguration ceremony on Wednesday. The director and his cast were in attendance. And we now have a better idea of who is portraying which character in this new film.
Sammo Hung and Ken Lo take on the role of triad leaders of different factions. Tien Niu and Carisa Yan play Sammo Hung’s wife and mistress respectively. As a smart and authoritative “mob sister”, Tien Niu often battles it out against Ken Lo’s wife Pinky Cheung. Simon Yam plays Sammo Hung’s younger brother, while Danny Lee a police officer, both of whom are pursuing Maggie Shiu. Simon Yam is a mean 2nd-in-command when it comes to triad matters, but is quite a kind person otherwise. Wu Jing, as a triad member under Sammo Hung, will sport dyed hair and tattoos.
In the same article Sammo had some interesting things to say about the state of action cinema in Hong Kong. Sammo Hung and Wu Jing will have quite a number of action scenes and they will also get to clash against each other. Sammo Hung thinks well of Wu Jing’s martial arts ability. However, he feels that Hong Kong action film industry is unable to recreate the glories of past for there aren’t many young actors who are trained in martial arts and able to take hardships. He says that won’t be retiring soon for he enjoys movie-making. I am glad to read that Sammo and Jing will battle it out. It is sad but also true that there are very few actors who are able to uphold the mantle of action cinema in Hong Kong. Let’s hope that successful action films in Hong Kong may create a new wave of trained action actors/actresses in Hong Kong.
