Legendary Assassin
This December, the adrenaline-filled martial arts film that “truly dazzles” (BC Magazine), Legendary Assassin, makes its DVD, Digital Download and On Demand debut from Lionsgate. Co-directed and action-choreographed by award-winning choreographer Chung Chi Li (Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2), the film stars Wu Jing (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) who also served as co-director. Hailed as “the next great martial artist,” (Film Critics United) Jing’s skills and star power has often been compared to Jackie Chan. Singer, songwriter and model Celina Jade also makes her film debut, alongside Jing, as two unlikely friends who share a secret. The “action-packed” Legendary Assassin DVD contains bonus materials that include two featurettes.
Jing portrays an assassin who becomes stranded on an island following his latest hit. The assassin inadvertently befriends a female police officer (Jade), and over the course of the evening, the unspoken truth honored by the two sides of the law is broken. After the remains of a body that belonged to a drug lord are found, chaos ensues and the duo find themselves in a race against time to find the mysterious murderer that’s loose and out for blood.
Pricing: DVD $26.98
