Lee B. Golden III

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. When a brilliant but trigger-happy detective (played by martial arts powerhouse Max Zhang, IP Man 3, Master Z: Ip Man Legacy) is outsmarted by a serial killer, he pays a high price for his momentary lapse in judgment. Robbed of both his fiancée and his job, he soon spirals out of control and goes back to what he knows best: fighting. Unbeknownst to him, a serendipitous reunion with an old rival (Brazilian mixed martial artist Anderson Silva) may be the key to unlocking the truth about his […]

THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON Trailer Unleashes…An Actual Dragon??

Lee B. Golden III

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. Nope. Not even close apparently. If it feels a bit spoilery for you then there’s no turning back. Pretty plot-twisty in my view, though I’m curious to see how this affects the film from start to finish with Zhang playing an undercover operative whose escapades in aiding the police bring him not only continous troubles, but a spate of killings, and an impending confrontation with a man from his past. The […]

THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON Pushes June 20 Release, Featurettes And Stills Take You Inside The Action

Lee B. Golden III

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. We also have an officially dated trailer and a raft of behind-the-scenes featurettes, as well as stills from the upcoming thriller. This one sees Max Zhang headlining the story of Kowloon, an undercover agent – a legend known for assisting police in solving cases – whose actions put him in the turrets of a Macau detective, and an American ex-soldier with a secret connection to his background, played by former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva. Featuring fight and stunt direction from Jackie Chan cohort Stephen Tung, can be seen in the following featurettes in addition to […]

THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON: Max Zhang Stares Down Death In The Newest Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

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. Once upon a time, the undercover agent with dragon tattoo Kowloon, continually helped the police to solve mysterious cases, which made him known as a rising star. However, his impulsive personality dragged him into endless troubles. He got himself into fights with the Macau detective, as well as an American Army veteran Alexander who has a secret linkage to Kowloon’s background… World sales agents at Pegasus have already since secured […]

THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON: Max Zhang Is The Man With The Dragon Tattoo In The Newest Promo

Lee B. Golden III

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. (An official trailer from earlier this week […]

THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON: Zhang And Silva Square Off In The Newest Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

Inexplicably, Fruit Chan’s latest action thriller, The Invincible Dragon, has taken a pretty long road in post-production. A 2018 release may be likely for that matter considering it’s been about a year since the first trailer went live and will yet finally see action star Max Zhang deservedly on the big screen. It’s especially a fine time to make the move too, given Zhang’s current profusion both locally and overseas with multiple projects lined up at Filmart and readying rollouts later this year as well. The actor and martial arts star is joined by actor and former MMA middleweight champion Anderson Silva who gets to chew some dialogue and fisticuffs with our lead in stellar fashion. Once upon a time, the undercover agent with dragon tattoo continually helped the police solve mysterious cases, which made him known as a rising star. However, his impulsive personality dragged him into endless trouble. […]

Trailer: THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON Breathes Hard-Hitting Action With Max Zhang And Anderson Silva

Lee B. Golden III

Award-winning filmmaker, writer and director Fruit Chan’s latest has appeared to have undergone a change in the past week. Thus, there’s new poster art now accomodating the film’s updated title, The Invincible Dragon (formerly Made In Kowloon), and still with the sheer, continued promise of delivering blistering action, no less. Conveniently the film’s first official trailer doles out exactly that with action star, actor Max Zhang rising even further to prominence, playing a detective fighting to rescue his abducted fiance in the wake of a spate of serial homicides. Rounding out the cast are actress and martial artist JuJu Chan (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon : Swords of Destiny), Kevin Cheng, Stephy Tang, and Sumyau Liu, and former UFC Middleweight Champion, actor Anderson Silva (Tapped Out) with Stephen Tung (The Accidental Spy, Saving General Yang) bolstering the film’s action sequences. You can look forward to more on Zhang’s endeavors with Cheung […]

It was on Saturday that Pegasus Motion Pictures Limited officially made its 2017 production slate public, ultimately including the announcement of Fruit Chan’s new action thriller, Made In Kowloon.
