Just off the heels of completing his latest role in The Bodyguard, yes, action legend and choreographer Sammo Hung is still making movies, and this time he’s with director Benny Chan for the current production of period war flick, The Deadly Reclaim. Chan reunites with quite a few of the cast from previous films, namely The White Storm lead actors Lau Ching-Wan and Louis Koo, as well as New Police Story co-stars Liu Kai-Chi and Sammy Hung, and Invisible Target antagonist, action star Wu Jing in his latest role since his last two films were so physically tolling they nearly put him out of commission.

The law and order in Puchang, a remote village, were temporarily enforced by a civic police led by Yang Kenan until the new ruling warlord Ca.
Filmsmash forwarded a BTS featurette of which a few have already begun circulating online via MTime, and the footage so far looks very promising. With an ensemble cast like this, The Deadly Reclaim is a seeming reassurance of the promise of great martial arts cinema to come. Rise Of The Legend star Eddie Peng also stars with Quan Yuan, Shu-ying Jiang, Philip Keung and Berg Ng for a speculative release sometime later this year. Check out the footage below along with some set pics!
