The New BADGES OF FURY Trailer: More Kicky, More Punchy, And Me Likey!

Lee B. Golden III

It appears Enlight Pictures is switiching its gears with a new trailer now up for the June 28 Mainland release of the latest new Jet Li actioner directed by Wang Tzu-Ming titled Badges Of Fury. Take into consideration that the film sold very well during the Cannes Film Festival. And having seen the first few trailers, anyone would have thought that the film was anything but a solid action film with an impresseive array of fight cuts designed by action director Corey Yuen.

Today’s trailer changes all that, showcasing a barrage of balistic fists, kicks, blocking and flying. This is by far the juiciest “Badges” trailer I have seen, harkening back to the good old days of The Bodyguard From Beijing (1994) and My Father Is A Hero (1995) with Li, along with Collin Chou and Wu Jing starring in the film. And even though this will not take away from the more goofy, comedic elements we have seen in previous spots, at least this footage here lends a little more than previously shown. You would even think this was a different kind of film, but it isn’t. It is what it is, and I have no doubt in my mind that this film is going to do just fine.
Michelle Chen, Liu Shi Shi, Liu Yan, Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng, and Leung Siu Lung round out the cast. Check out the exceptional trailer below.
