-- Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon --
It appears that when opulent period action films from China fail to gain traction with international audiences, the solution from local filmmakers is to just crank out more of the same and hope for the best. One of these is from BLACK MASK director Daniel Lee who is treading into the past for the first time, outside of television work. Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon is engineered from its very core to be an impressive action and adventure movie. Aside from having a ludicrous title better suited to a Playstation video game, the production has a lot going for it… on paper. Coincidently, source material for the film actually did inspire the Dynasty Warriors video game series, along with John Woo’s upcoming war epic Red Cliff. Kung Fu Cinema >>More<<
