WOLF WARRIOR 2 Howls Later This Month In The UK With A New Box Set!

Give or take a few bucks, China’s box office earnings reportedly totaled up to $8.6 billion dollars since 2016. The tail end of that growth saw a rise of $2 billion dollars last year with action star Wu Jing’s Wolf Warrior 2 contributing a gross of $860 million dollars (ten times that of its predecessor).

Needless to say, a threequel is definitely happening an you can certainly expect this site along with others to keep an eye out. In the meantime, both the hit 2015 military actioner which saw Wu play a PLA sniper on a mission of redemption in the face of evil mercenaries invading China, and its sequel which saw our hero tackle a group of terrorists in a fictional South African territory, is heading for a cool new box set from Cine Asia UK.

China’s deadliest Special Forces operative, known as the Wolf Warrior (Wu Jing – Wolf Warrior, Call of Heroes, Kill Zone) is lying low. But when he crosses paths with a ruthless band of mercenaries led by a volatile and sadistic leader (Frank Grillo – Warrior, Captain America: Civil War), he must reaffirm his duty as a soldier and put an end to the gang’s reign of terror. 

Fists, bullets, tanks and missiles will fly in this tour de force of action filmmaking, all culminating in a climactic battle between the highly skilled Wolf Warrior and the brutal mercenary leader. 

Written and directed by Wu Jing and co-starring Celina Jade (TV’s Arrow, Skin Trade) Wolf Warrior II brings a masterful adrenaline rush with action co-ordination from the veteran Hollywood stunt team behind John Wick, Atomic Blonde and Captain America: Civil War. 

Wolf Warrior II is released on Limited Edition Blu-ray, DVD, DVD boxset (with Wolf Warrior co-starring Scott Adkins) and Digital Download from 29th January 2018.

Pre-order your package here and keep an eye out for number three when news starts stirring.

BOYKA: UNDISPUTED IV Wraps, Star Thanks His Fans, Cast And Crew, Talks Future Movies

Martial arts action cinema has seen a ton of glory in the field of film for many years with a multitude of memorable and iconic characters to lend credit to. One such role as of late has been actor Scott Adkins‘s delivery of born-again Russian mixed-martial arts champion, Uri Boyka, following two principle roles in the direct-to-video end of the Undisputed franchise, with the sequel and threequel in 2006 and 2010 respectively, from director Isaac Florentine.

Clock into 2015 well long after the third film as fans remained sizzling with hope for another installment and fans evidently got their wish in late 2013 prior to principle photography earlier this summer, and no less with a meaty handful of top notch action actors from select parts of the world all congregating in Sofia, Bulgaria for the production of Boyka: Undisputed IV. Adkins and Florentine are reunited once more with co-star and fight choreographer Tim Man since putting together the dazzling action in Fantastic Fest 2013 favorite, Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear – another title that is still garnering fandom in support of another, and granted, one that will assure fans more to come from Adkins and those in his corner.

Of course, none of this forward-movement is easy to come by. It took a really, really long time for another Undisputed movie to emerge, and now with its completion of principle photography, it’s onto the next phase which is post-production, and hopefully it won’t be long within that period before we see some footage. Until then, we can rest ourselves in the fact that another is in the can with an invariably exceptional amalgam of screenfighters – several of whom I have written about before on any number of indie projects. This, coupled with a great plot guarantees the franchise even further greatness for a character that has cultivated a generation of martial arts fans and athletes with the purposing of an idol that brings a world of electricity to a niche that will never run out of enthusiasm.

On that note, it’s Adkins himself who had something to say to his followers via social media regarding the new film, its stunt players, the possible future of the character he plays, and more:

That’s a wrap on Boyka: Undisputed IV. I’ve put my heart & soul into this shoot and pushed my body to it’s absolute limit to bring you the next instalment of the greatest martial arts movie franchise the West has to offer. 

Yuri Boyka will face many new fights in this chapter, but none more dangerous than the fight within himself. 

I’d like to thank Teodora Duhovnikova, Paul Chahidi and Alon Aboutboul who brought their characters to life with and supported my performance in the best way possible. 

The fighters Emilien De Falco, Trayan Milenov, Andy Long, Brahim Achabbakhe and Martyn Ford for giving it their all (especially Andy Long who I sent to the hospital – sorry Andy). 

Tim Man, our fight choreographer, we couldn’t do it without you my friend (2 more sections please). 

All the Bulgarian cast & crew for all their hard work and dedication. 

I love playing this character and we already have ideas on where to take him next so do me a favour – if you want to see more of Yuri Boyka and don’t want to wait another 6 years to see it then please, please support this movie through the official channels and not illegal downloads. It needs to make a profit to justify a sequel, it’s plain economics. 

Time for me to rest my aching bones. 

Cheers, 

Scott 

“If I’m the champion of the toilets? Then what does that make you when I kick the fucking shit out of you?!” 

~Yuri Boyka

So, for all intents and purposes, it’s quite simple, really. Grant your monetary support to this movie and support Adkins and the cast and crew of his film the right way, and we will see plenty more. The same goes for his recently-completed craft of action with Florentine for Close Range, which still awaits a date; You can also catch Adkins opposite Wu Jing on September 1 when Well Go USA releases Wolf Warrior on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Stay tuned for more info!

Well Go USA's WOLF WARRIOR Is Now Available For Pre-Order

We’re literally just one-month away from the North American release of action star Wu Jing‘s solo directorial debut, Wolf Warrior. It shouldn’t be long before we finally get a trailer going viral but chances are you folks already know what the film looks like due to the trailers now online. Definitely patriotic at its core with a variety of actors on hand, one can argue this looks like an exceptional template for Wu in his career off-camera, and considering it’s just one of two films that significantly did a number on his legs in the last few years prior to his recovery, hopefully there will be plenty more to come.

In the meantime, this one has some high-quality artwork to bear until its release, courtesy of Amazon.com where you can pre-order your respective DVD and Blu-Ray copies right now.

The action-packed war drama WOLF WARRIOR, Wu Jing’s second film as a director (following Legendary Assassin), debuts on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital HD Sept. 1 from Well Go USA Entertainment. In addition to his directing duties, Wu Jing (Badges of Fury, Shaolin) also stars as a Chinese Special Forces soldier with extraordinary marksmanship who is expelled from the army and joins a mysterious troupe of insurgents known as the Wolf Warriors.  Yu Nan (The Expendables 2, The Taking of Tiger Mountain) plays the formidable female captain of the insurgents, while British martial arts sensation Scott Adkins (Zero Dark Thirty, The Bourne Ultimatum) plays a foreign mercenary out to capture Wu.  WOLF WARRIOR also stars Kyle Shapiro (Wolves), Ni Dahong (Curse of the Golden Flower) and Kevin Lee (Pound of Flesh) 

Synopsis: Sergeant Leng Feng (Wu Jing), top marksman of the Chinese Special Forces, is jailed under court martial for disobeying orders. But he’s just the kind of fighter the Wolf Warriors are looking for.  Silent. Stealthy. Deadly. The Wolves bring Feng into their pack, honing his skills to a knife’s edge. But another team has Feng on their radar: a group of corrupt blades-for-hire, seeking revenge for the drug lord’s murder.

Well Go USA Nabs WOLF WARRIOR For Release In North America!

The production of action star and debut director Wu Jing‘s newest helming effort, Wolf Warrior, has seen quite an addition to his journey in film. It certainly lended its fair share of physical challenges in recent months as well as technical ones, considering the film was supposed to release late last year at some point or another.

The film joins Wu principally with actress Yu Nan and fellow action star Scott Adkins in a story of a rebellious Chinese solider ousted from the army before being given a second chance with a special commando unit, only to end up in the crosshairs of a vengeful foreign mercenary and his team of killers. The film is poised to present another in an epic array of fantastic action sequences, one which will ultimately pit action star Wu and Adkins opposite each other for the first time, and even better, in 3D and IMAX when it releases in 

China on April 2. 

That said, fans of the genre in North America may be familiar with the recent patterned allocation of Asian action films through Texas-based Well Go USA, who have been a leading figure in showcasing Asian cinema in the U.S. for several years now. Lately, having theatrically presented films in select theaters and cities like Tsui Hark’s The Taking Of Tiger Mountain at the top of the year before February’s release of Jacob Cheng’s Snow Girl And The Dark Crystal, the model here was done also, in part, to help combat piracy. 

It seems to be a working vehicle for the company as they move forward with their acquisitions and other endeavors, and as of this week with news broken from Screendaily, Well Go USA will be adding another – Wu’s Wolf Warrior, to its platform, which could mean a possible limited theatrical release in North America and Canada as early as April 3 or a week thereafter.

With a pattern like this, Asian cinema lovers in the U.S. and abroad have plenty of reason to hope to catch titles like these on the big screen instead of just catching them straight-to-disc or on digital. It’s what anyone who loves martial arts action could hope for, and for an opportunity to see Wu on the big screen stateside with Adkins, it’s a plus to hardly argue against.

Stay tuned for a new trailer from Well Go USA and official details on its release!
