"Sleeping Dogs" Fight In This New Combat Trailer
14 May 2012 10:40 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
Square Enix and developer United Front Games promise guns and punches in the trailer from their spiritual successor to True Crime.
United Front's open world action game is taking all of the hallmarks from Hong Kong action films (at least the John Woo/Tsui Hark heyday of the 90's) and their latest trailer hopes to show that off. The combat video reveals the flurry of punches and kicks your character will be able to deploy, along with the game's disarming mechanic (opponent have a knife--now it's yours). You'll also be able to grab objects in the environment and fling them at your foes, if that's your thing (that's my thing).
Sleeping Dogs comes to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on August 14th.

China Beat: Tsui Hark & Bona Exploring 3D Together
12 May 2012 1:32 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
This week Chinese film giant Bona Film Group announced that it plans to shoot two new films in 3D this year. Tsui Hark will direct a remake of the 1960 film Tracks In The Snowy Forest, while Jacob Cheung is on board to helm White Hair Witch, a retelling of The Bride With White Hair. This news comes after the phenomenal success of Bona's previous foray into the technology, Tsui Hark's Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, which not only amassed over Us$100 million at the Chinese box office, but also displayed Tsui's keen understanding of how to get the most from the added depth of field.Like many, my views on 3D are that it is basically an unnecessary gimmick we can all do without.

The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate to Make its IMAX 3D Debut This September
7 May 2012 9:19 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
If you’re a fan of old school martial arts with new school 3D technology, then Tsui Hark’s “The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate” is the movie you’ve been looking for all your life. A major hit in its native Hong Kong/China, “Flying Swords” stars Jet Li and Xun Zhou, and is a pretty rockin’ good time for those willing to ignore the wonky 3D effects (if you’re not watching it in 3D, that is) and some truly absurd narrative plotting. But hey, that’s why it’s old school — the movie belongs in the ’80s, which, I suspect, was the intention of writer/director Hark. Thanks to the folks at Indomina Releasing, “Flying Swords” is now getting an exclusive, limited engagement across North America in September on IMAX 3D screens. This would make “Flying Swords” the first Chinese-language film to get an IMAX release in the States, »

Flying Swords Of Dragons Gate on English subbed DVD
13 April 2012 11:31 AM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
Tsui Hark proved he was back on form with ‘Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame’ and with his latest martial arts film - Starring Jet-Li - Flying Swords of Dragon Gate keeps that momentum going, in 3D!

Zhao and company flee to the vast, sprawling desert on the frontier, and seek refuge at the infamous Dragon Gate Inn, »
The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (2011) Movie Review
8 April 2012 11:50 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good old-fashioned Chinese martial arts movie, and I guess it’s appropriate Tsui Hark’s “The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate” would be the movie to welcome me back into the fold. It’s every bit the type of throwback flick that Hark is known for, with its complicated narrative (mind you, I’m not saying the film is especially difficult to understand, it’s just unnecessarily jumbled) and old school martial arts. Once upon a time everything in “Dragon Gate” would be done with wires, but in this day and age of computers, the film’s high-flying stunts are achieved with CGI, or a combination of CGI and wires. An improvement? Not really. In fact, it looks overly fake, but it’s the new reality, so mind as well get used to it. This is officially the third go-round »

Essential Viewing for fans of ‘The Raid: Redemption’ – 15 Classic Martial Arts Films
5 April 2012 10:42 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With the release of The Raid: Redemption, I’ve asked Sound On Sight contributors Edgar Chaput and Michael Ryan to help me put together a list of 15 classic martial arts films that we consider essential viewing. Here are my five choices.
11- The Blade (Doa)
Directed by Hark Tsui
Inspired by the 1967 Shaw Brothers epic The One-Armed Swordsman, Tsui Hark’s The Blade reinforces that the director is a true innovator, a visionary, a remarkable stylist and a man who knows how to direct action. In a style often compared to Wong Kar Wai’s Ashes of Time, The Blade is a constant, steady blend of hand-held camera work, quick cuts, visual motifs, symbolic imagery and downright poetic juxtapositions. The fight scenes start out violent and blood-stained but gradually progress into grand artistic spectacles – some of the best you’ll ever see.
