FIVE-A-DAY COUNTDOWN: Hollow Point, Invincible, The Green Ghost, Kickboxer: Armageddon, and Kung Fu League

This is it! The final five!…

Hollow Point: As close as director Daniel Zirilli plays things to the chest, it’s hard to keep up with what he’s doing a lot of times. Hollow Point was especially one that I didn’t see coming now with actor Luke Goss getting full frontal billing in actor Dilan Jay’s feature debut about a widowed family man looking for reprisal with the help of a clandestine unit of vigilantes. Michael Pare and JuJu Chan also star. Date pending.

Invincible: Look no further than this recently-announced action pic from the aforementioned Zirilli, directing and producing alongside D3 Telefilm. Johnny Strong plays the head of security assigned to hunt down a runaway experimental supersoldier, played by martial arts star Marko Zaror.

The Green Ghost: I’m giving this particular superhero adventure another shot. Neither 2016 nor 2017 took for Michael D. Olmos’s fantasy action adventure despite making a big splash several years ago with a poster – host to the brainchild of car salesman and actor Charlie Clark; Here he plays a white guy adopted from youth into a sect of Mexican superheroes and becomes the key to preventing the previously misdated Mayan Apocalypse. IMDb lists this one for December 21, 2018 but I’m inking this in for 2019 in case we’re wrong here.

Kickboxer: Armageddon: Nope, we haven’t forgotten Alain Moussi, not by a long shot given how Dimitri Logothetis’ take on the Kickboxer franchise has been received by the hardcore base. Be that as it may, I still stand by my earlier opinion in hopes that Armageddon doesn’t totally annihilate what potential, if any, that rebooting David Worth’s JCVD classic had, and this third installment hasn’t even begun filming yet, methinks, as the much-deserving Moussi just recently completed his latest stint as Batman in DC Universe series, Titans, among what other prospects lie ahead for him.

Kung Fu League: Now here’s one we can hope forsee an early 2019 release, host to ensemble of classic genre heroes. Americans like myself still await this particular time travel martial arts romp from Well Go USA now that folks in China have had their fun with it.

This completes our list of 100 films to hear and expect more on in 2019. Granted there’s definitely more than 100 coming out this year and so obviously this isn’t a full summation of what’s to come, so tell us, what movies are you looking forward to in 2019?
