In the early Republic of China, the whole country was trodden
by incessant civil wars. The new ruling warlord Cao Ying sent his son Cao
Shaolun (by Louis Koo) to take over the remote village Puchong. Cold-blooded
and temperamental, Shaolun killed the innocent and orphans relentlessly. The
guardians of Pucheng arrested him and the guardian commander Yang Kenan (by
Sean Lau) planned to execute him after the trial.
Not too long after the fall of Qing Dynasty, China is facing
endless civil wars. The central government has lost its powers and the warlords
are fighting for territories. In 1914, a group of people from the remote
village of Puchang decide to stand up and go against a cruel young warlord.
During the warlords era after falling of Qing Dynasty in China, a village located in rural area called Pucheng fell into dangerous situation when its government allocated all its military force to the frontline, the cruel young general Cao from the enemy troops arrived the village and killed the innocent, the leader of self-defense team of the village was desperate to fight against Cao for justice and to protect their homeland.
“Call of Heroes” has a starry cast featuring Sean Lau Ching-wan, Louis Koo and Eddie Peng. Sammo Hung is the action choreographer.
ReplyDeleteBenny Chan directs the period adventure, set during the Qing Dynasty.
Call of Heroes packs a big cast and I can’t start to list why I’m hyped for this film. Benny Chan has made some really great films and Wu Jing is looking as deadly as ever. With choreography by Sammo Hung and Loius Koo playing a crazy character, I think we have some really great things in store for us.
