With the forthcoming release still pending for writer/director Teddy Chen‘s intense new action thriller Kung Fu Jungle, pics, trailers and featurettes are all we have to go on right now until audiences worldwide get to see the film. As such, another new featurette has since gone viral in anticipation for the new film this week, ahead of its upcoming premiere this Sunday at 6:30pm at the Empire Leicester Square Cinema for the 58th Annual BFI London Film Festival.
Hahou (Donnie Yen) is a former martial arts instructor, imprisoned after accidentally slaying an opponent. When vicious killer Fung (Wang Baoqiang) starts targeting the reigning kung fu masters, Hahou offers to help the police catch him in return for his freedom. Despite her misgivings, the police inspector (Charlie Young) arranges his release, but when Hahou disappears she suspects him of conspiring with the killer. The shrewd Hahou has deduced the killer’s objective and realises that he will himself become Fung’s target, putting all those around him at risk. He refuses to be drawn into a fight with Fung, however when the killer threatens the woman he loves (Michelle Bai), Hahou ultimately realises that he will have to go against the martial code in order to uphold it.
