“Dragon Blade” is coming to the US soon, and it looks like the film is going to be absolutely amazing in many ways for those who haven’t seen its initial release yet, especially for the old school fans of Jackie Chan who’ve been craving to see their favorite martial artist back for another great role. With just about a week left before the film hits the screen, we’ve been getting various teasers about it, and they all paint quite the good picture.
Of course, fans of Jackie Chan in China already got to see the actor in his full glory earlier this year as the film was already released in that market, enjoying a lot of success both on the commercial front as well as among fans. People have been reporting very positive impressions from the overall presentation, claiming that the film manages to live up to the expectations one would have for a modern martial arts movie.
Along with Jackie Chan, we will get to see John Cusack and Adrien Brody in the new film, and the producers have actually lined up quite the cast in order to deliver their ideas to the screen. In addition, it’s had quite the strong production value, with over $60 million invested in the whole thing so far. It’s quite clear that we’re going to see a film that has had a lot of work going into it, and we’ll likely be hearing about this performance by Jackie Chan for a long time in the future.
The story of the film focuses on the fight for the Silk Road, showing the huge clash between the East and West. There will be a lot of fighting of course, and we’re going to see some pretty spectacular action scenes in the new film, which shouldn’t be that surprising given that this is the main specialty of Jackie Chan and the thing that we’ve come to know the actor for.
Of course, we can also expect some pretty stellar choreography for the fights in general, as Jackie Chan is someone who tends to pay a lot of attention to that and always insists to make his fights look good on the screen. From what we’ve been able to see from the new movie so far, it’ll show some spectacular fight scenes that will blow away even the most die-hard fans of good combat films.
The newly released trailer for the film aimed at American audiences has been gaining a lot of attention and many people have been discussing the various positive features that the new production has about it, such as the excellent visual quality and the solid aesthetics of all the scenes presented in the trailer. And of course, those who’ve already seen the film in its Chinese version have had mostly positive things to say about it too, so it’s shaping up to be quite the good release overall, and something that will be talked about for a long time. Possibly not even just in the communities of martial arts film fans, but among cinema lovers in general.
It’s good to see Jackie Chan remaining so active in his work too. The actor has seen quite a lot of releases so far, and he’s keeping up the good work, even improving the quality of acting that he delivers to the screen all the time. This is a good contrast to some other martial arts actors who tend to lose their “spark” as time goes by, and usually end up losing the attraction of their main fan base after some time.
