Now screening in 43 cities in China is director Jiang Cong’s Wolf Pack, starring none other than Max Zhang, Aarif Lee and Jiang Luxia among the team of heroes in the new actioner.

Max Zhang in “The Brink” (Well Go USA)
Director Fruit Chan’s newest action thriller, Invincible Dragon, is coming to Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital on October 6, and we’re giving away three (3) copies to readers as of this week.
Hard to believe it’s been three years since Fruit Chan’s long-awaited Max Zhang/Anderson Silva headliner, Invincible Dragon, began its trailer campaign. The film has already hit mainland audiences though and having since been acquired by Well Go USA, the Texas-based specialty release firm took to its Comic Con@Home audience online to finally unveil a Blu-ray, DVD and Digital release date for October 6.
Next week on August 20 will be the official Blu-Ray due date for Jonathan Li’s Max Zhang/Shawn Yue-led crime thriller, The Brink. The film is also coming exclusively to Hi-YAH! later this year while you can now win yourselves one of three blu-ray copies of the film for your own keeping.
Well Go USA is proudly making one heck of a banner year out of 2019 thusfar showcasing its titles around the world in many festivals abroad with its releases both current and forthcoming.
Well Go USA is proudly ramping up its power-packed HiYAH! channel with the long-awaited release of director Jonathon Li’s crime thriller, The Brink. The Texas-based firm is still rolling the film out on Blu-Ray beginning August 20 while folks keen on a more spectacular all-you-can-eat buffet of action cinema of the Asian variety will proudly be the first among North America’s streaming demo to watch.
I gotta say, the newest official trailer Fruit Chan’s The Invicible Dragon looks tons of fun as we get more and more footage of story, drama, and featured talents Max Zhang and Anderson Silva trying to beat each other to a pulp. The least I expected was for this latest push to include an actual CG dragon as much as we all thought the tattoo on Zhang’s back was all there was to the “dragon” element of the story.
Indeed, you’re not alone if you feel like Fruit Chan’s The Invincible Dragon should have been in theaters by now. It’s been two years since the campaign began with a teaser and a prolonged wait period that now sees light at the end of the tunnel with a June 20 rollout in Hong Kong.
The past week or so saw fans hastily taking heed to a leaked European trailer for John Herzfeld’s Escape Plan: The Extractors. It was a fun few minutes but it was worth at least waiting for the official U.S. trailer to arrive, with an official date set for July 2 on Digital 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital.
A sequel to Yuen Woo-Ping’s Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, is reportedly in the works according to the latest observations of the operator of Twitter handle, @AsianFilmStrike. Supposedly, the sequel’s budget will be substantially less than half that of the first film which stood at around $28 million; The film’s current global box office gross stands around $20 million according to Box Office Mojo.
The past few years have been a waiting game as award-winning director Fruit Chan forged further onto projects like Anthony Wong drama, Still Human, and sex comedy, Three Husbands. All while this is happening, his latest thriller, The Invincible Dragon, remained frozen in time with nil info on its release and now it appears fans of actor and martial arts star Max Zhang (Master Z) will finally see some movement on this end come its Chinese release on April 30.
It’s high-time for everyone stateside who hasn’t yet torrented a copy of Ip Man 3 spin-off, Well Go USA’s Master Z: Ip Man Legacy ahead of its U.S. release on April 12. Enter a cadre of some of the biggest names in kung fu cinema of late with none other than Max Zhang making his next stride with the role of disgraced wing chun master Cheung Tin-Chi following his consequential battle with Donnie Yen’s title character in the previous film.
The last few years have been crazy with news and updates over action star Max Zhang’s upcoming releases of which at least a few are now pending.
It’s been what feels like the longest of long times since we last heard from actor Max Zhang. He’s been digging his feet in – albeit slowly but surely – with appearances in films both foreign and stateside, signaled no less by his role in Pacific Rim: Uprising, as well as the upcoming direct-to-DVD threequel, Escape Plan: Devil’s Station, though at least one role has kept many a martial arts fan awake since the ample ceremony he got starring opposite title actor Donnie Yen in Ip Man 3.
It was earlier this week that I alleged action star Donnie Yen might be crowding the blogs this week. Undoubtedly he’s leveled up on that end while several stars of note are delivering in equal measure, including actor Max Zhang whose latest, Invincible Dragon from Three…Extremes helmer Fruit Chan, still doesn’t have a local release date but otherwise stil bares a 2018 stamp.
It also invites fans in with a tough new short promo following its newest trailer earlier this week which highlights Zhang in the role of a tattooed undercover cop whose impulsive work ethic brings him in the throes of a suspicious serial killer in the form of an American Army veteran. Former UFC Middleweight champ, actor Anderson Silva hones in his acting for the role opposite our inked protagonist which you can now take a gander at several times below.
