Stuntman Leaps Onto Digital May 12 | popgeeks.com

Distributor CineAsia is preparing to release the action drama Stuntman on digital platforms next month. The movie is a tribute to classic Hong Kong cinema and the world of stunts.

The story centers around a washed-up action choreographer whose career has stalled. The industry has changed and no one seems to be returning his phone calls anymore. That’s when he gets the idea to stage an epic comeback, a stunt that will grab the attention of everyone and prove he’s still got it. There are other problems in his life though…in the process, he must find a way to repair the relationship with his estranged daughter.

Stuntman stars Terrance Lau (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Anita) and Philip Ng (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Birth of the Dragon). Also starring is stunt veteran Stephen Tung Wai (The Battle at Lake Changjin, Hard Boiled), a seven-time winner of Best Action Choreography at the Hong Kong Film Awards, making his on-camera return after seven years. The cast also features Cecilia Choi (A Light Never Goes Out, Beyond the Dream) and Rachel Leung (The Sparring Partner, In Broad Daylight).

The most interesting thing about this film was that it was directed by two real-life stuntmen turned filmmakers, Albert and Herbert Leung. We guess that would help with making the story authentic! Stuntman will be released to digital on May 12.

This moving and action-packed story shines a light on the unsung heroes of the film industry. In Stuntman, a washed-up action choreographer, struggling to find his way in a changing industry, risks everything to stage an epic comeback, but can he repair the damage to his relationship with his estranged daughter, before it’s too late?
