Synopsis

Although Tank Wong (Andy On) is the reigning champion of the Star Runner martial arts tournament, a stubborn young fighter named Bond Cheung (Vanness Wu) is determined to take the title from the seemingly unstoppable warrior. Knowing he’ll need to be in his best condition, Bond learns to combine his Thai kickboxing skills with Chinese kung fu, creating a formidable new fighting style — but will it be enough to defeat the champ?

Daniel Lee

Daniel LEE, film director, majored in visual arts in the University of Windsor. He returned Hong Kong in 1984 and worked in the movie production industry. His works are famous for their sensibility and intense imagery.

LEE was praised by Chang Cheh, the great martial arts movie master, as the most important swordsman movie director of the new generation. In 1994, he remade the classic swordsplay movie What Price Survival. The surreal and impressive cinematography won critical acclaim. Later, his other movies, such as Black Mask, Moonlight Express, A Fighter’s Blues, Dragon Squad and 14 Blades achieved great success. In 2008, his first epic swordsmen movie in China, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon won the Best Production Design Award in the 3rd Asian Movie Awards.
