"I'm warning you... don't cause trouble in the Walled City." Well Go USA has unveiled the official US trailer for a Hong Kong martial arts action movie titled Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, now ready for a US release in limited theaters this August. It first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival a few months ago, and we featured the first promo trailer back then just before it opened in HK. The film is an adaptation of the manhua City of Darkness by Andy Seto. It stars the action legend Sammo Hung as well as Louis Koo as Tornado (龍捲風), a martial arts master who is regarded as a legend within Kowloon Walled City. It's also produced by Wilson Yip Wai Sun (of the Ip Man series, Flashpoint) and John Chong (of the Infernal Affairs series, Initial D). The film follows the troubled youth Chan Lok-kwun (Raymond Lam) as he enters into the Walled City, discovers the order amidst its chaos, and learns important life lessons along the way. His arrival brings decades of building tension to a brutal, bloody boiling point. Also with Terrance Lau, Philip Ng, and Aaron Kwok. What a badass trailer with neon titles! Plenty of awesome action - this looks like a totally gnarly blast. For anyone who wants to rock, it'll be getting a US theatrical run very soon.

Here's the official US trailer (+ US poster) for Soi Cheang's Twilight of the Warriors, from YouTube:
