Legendary action choreographer Yuen Woo Ping might be best known for his work on THE MATRIX and KILL BILL(s), but he’s been a noted filmmaker in Hong Kong for decades (see IRON MONKEY or WING CHUN for a sample of the man’s capabilities).
He hasn’t spent too much time in Hollywood lately, getting back behind the camera and the kicking for old-school action (and sound effects!) in the period martial arts epic TRUE LEGEND (SU QI-ER). Check the trailer below for a welcome dose of flying fists and feet. Whoo-PAH!
The synopsis: Su Qi-Er, a wealthy man living during the Qing Dynasty who loses his fortune and reputation as a result of a conspiracy against him. After being forced out onto the streets, Su dedicates his life to martial arts and reemerges as a patriotic hero known as the “King of Beggars.”
