Tony Jaa is taking China’s Youku streaming app to task with the November 8 release of Striking Rescue. Desperado helmer Cheng Siyi directs the international action star for the story of a harrowing descent into the criminal for a Muay Thai master out for vengeance after witnessing the brutal murders of his wife and daughter.
The film also stars Shi Yanneng, Hong Junjia, Phillip Keung, and Chen Duoyi. I reckon it’ll be about a year before this finds some space in the U.S. – namely Well Go USA’s Hi-YAH! streamer where Asian action titles like these are well suited for presentation. In the meantime, peep the latest promo below.
Hat tip to @thatphatsamuraiguy for the heads up!
