Fist of Dragon opens 4 Aug 2011

Photo with Michael Chuah and Henry Thia.

The bloggers took a group photo with the cast of the movie.

Some foods which were served during the Gala Premiere.

A group photo with my my friends and other invited guest.

A photo with Monday Kang who was one of the villian actor in the movie.

The cast went into the cinema hall and had a speech before the start of the movie.

The audiene get to shake hand with the writer-director and actor, Michael Chuah Ghiap-hun.

Fist of Dragon is sure an anticipating movie to watch. It is also Fiona Xie's Last movie! One of the other "Must Watch" reason is because this movie is produced from the Producer of Ip Man 2!

Plot Outline:
"Fist of Dragon" tells the story of Li, who comes to South East Asia by the request of his father to help out his uncle who has been facing financial difficulties. Li, upon arriving in the town, feels out of place due to the differences in cultures of the people here. When he discovers that his uncle has been facing many hardships posed by the local mobsters, Li decided to stay and to help his uncle and get rid of them. However, Li encounter numerous resistances from the locals as Li's action brings the wrath of the triad and drags the whole town into turmoil. Moreover, his uncle's daughter, Lily is on the triad side, and their relationship is badly affected when the confrontation between the two groups reach its peak.

《龙拳》是一部以传统华人文化与现代华人文化的冲突为题材，其中不乏精彩的打斗场面。

影片剧情讲述来自中国的李被父亲派去帮忙居住在一个偏僻小镇的叔叔解决他财务上的问题。 当李发现原来叔叔的问题是来自黑帮， 决定留下来帮他铲除这些流氓。

Starring:
Fiona Xie, Henry Thia, Wang Xiao Chen, Michael Chuah

My comments:
This is Michael Chuah's first action movie and featuring the filmmaker himself in the lead. The movie emphasise on Unity is Strength. We can learn that if we work together, then anything is possible, even if it seems impossible. Having Henry Thia in the movie, you can be sure there is a lot of hilarious scene. The fighting scene was exciting too.

If you like action movie this will be a good movie! Go watch on 4th Aug 2011!!!
