KUNG FU ROOKIE: Aman Ergaziyev’s Rumble In Kazakhstan Kicks Off In The Official U.S. Trailer

Film Movement’s Omnibus Entertainment label has rolled out the official trailer for Aman Ergaziyev’s martial arts action comedy, Kung Fu Rookie. Ergaziyev directs from a script by Anuar Turizhigitov with a cast led by Timur Baktybayev, and co-stars Kuat Khamitov, and Irina Azhmukhamedova.

Country bumpkin Timuchin (Baktybayev) comes to the city to enroll in the police academy. There he is pranked by a lovely young woman who eventually cottons to his courtship. When they run afoul of local gangsters his Dudley Do Right persona and studied obsession with martial arts send him on a bare-fisted mission to thwart the baddies on his own and rescue the damsel in distress. This inspired homage to Jackie Chan by way of urban Kazakhstan is a boisterous roller coaster ride of old school action movie thrills, spills and other hilarious antics.

I’m suddenly inclined to give Rumble In The Bronx another rewatch. Oof! Love it.

Kung Fu Rookie opens on VoD and Digital on March 14. Ceck out the trailer and gallery below!
