Make no mistake, besides the flag waving rah, rah that most Chinese military action films are known for, they are also known for delivering plentiful amounts of bombastic action set pieces that feature insane stunts, plenty of firepower and unwavering heroism. Movies like Wu Jing’s Wolf Warrior franchise definitely throw the national proudness down the audience’s throat but if you can get past that, then you’ll enjoy the chaos and carnage that they are known for. Filmmaker Dante Lam has brought us some of the most impressive entries to date with his Operation series including Operation Mekong and Operation Red Sea. Both movies were not short on the adrenaline and fans got more than their fair share of bang, bang and boom for their buck. The latter installment was a spectacular pic that showcased some of the best military action I have seen in quite some time.
Lam is back with a new operation and this time; we get submarines to go along with all the ferocious battle action. Titled Operation Leviathan, Lam looks to up the ante once again and judging from the new trailer, this one will once again bring us plenty of the good stuff. Scroll below for all the war theatrics including a recently released trailer from our friends over at Asian Film Fans as well as teaser key art!
Respected Chinese filmmaker Dante Lam helms once again with a cast that includes Xuan Huang, Yosh Yu, Jiang Du, and Luxia Jiang. Like I mentioned before, this rapid-fire flick is part of Lam’s military themed action series which includes Operation Mekong and Operation Red Sea. This initial teaser trailer is just that, a teaser, but it includes all the wonderful tropes that fans have come to expect from these Chinese military thrillers. We get awesome running and gunning in super slo-mo, tracer fire galore, commandos repelling from lofty heights and the tried and true, hearty line shouted towards the end of the promo telling us that “Chinese soldiers never give up!” Yes, we know. I’ve seen the other flicks as well as the soldiers defying death in this teaser, so I pretty much guessed that part but thanks for reminding me.
Translated Synopsis from IMDb: The civil war in Ivia just ended, and the people saw a glimmer of hope for peace, but the M country controlled the terrorist organization for some untold conspiracy, and Ivia was once again thrown into a cold panic.
The end of the teaser promises a 2025 release, but no official date has been revealed yet. Expect more trailers to hit in the future and you can lock n load right here to see them all because Chinese soldiers…well, you can guess the rest.
