This trailer actually hit last Friday but as I was caught up in all things Superman and work, I was unable to post but I am making up for that post haste. Martial arts legend Jackie Chan is continuing to prove that age is just a number, and he is teaming up with a next gen unit of crime fighters in his latest action offering The Shadow’s Edge. Taking on villain duties is Hong Kong cinema icon Tony Leung Ka-fai and with that, we have a hyper-ferocious battle for the ages featuring nob-stop Gun Fu and Kung Fu for punishing results. Take a look at the latest trailer courtesy of our friends over at Asian Film Fans!
In The Shadow’s Edge, Chan is front and center as a retired surveillance expert who was once employed by the Macau Police. He is forced back into action to aid an elite team of next gen detectives in taking on and taking down a ruthless and merciless criminal syndicate run by Tony.
K-Pop superstar Jun of the hit boyband SEVENTEEN will also play a villain in the film and will be the adoptive son of Leung’s character. Larry Yand directs with Zifeng Zhang and J_Black rounding out the main cast.
It does bode well that this new trailer does feature an eclectic mix of shoot ‘em up infused with some pretty savage and exhilarating martial arts action design with Chan delivering on all fronts. This is a definite must see for any hardcore action cinephile who likes their chaos served with a dash of the jaw dropping stuff.
The Shadow’s Edge is due to hit domestic Chinese and Hong Kong theaters on August 16th! Expect worldwide distribution to come forth with!
