THE INVETERATE DRAGON: A Roundtable Chat With Acclaimed Martial Arts Star, Actress JuJu Chan

Distinguished martial arts star and actress JuJu Chan left a spritely impression with Adrian Castro’s award-winning short, Hit Girls alongside Maria Tran back in 2013 in my own discoveries. She’s been a sight to see ever since with hopes all the more prevalent that she’d become a greater film presence in due time, missed opportunities notwithstanding. To say the least, the uptick in work over the last several years has been gradual and hugely welcome. Her status as a Hong Kong national athlete with accolades earned in Taekwondo and Thai boxing have paved the way for opportunities to work with and stand among the best in entertaimment with a current raft of TV and film titles coming forthwith. For most action fans, the upcoming Netflix streaming release, Wu Assassins, couldn’t come any sooner, and with Indonesian action superstar Iko Uwais dominating the fray with a vision of fight choreography that […]

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

Lee B. Golden III

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 […]
