Did you feel letdown with the martial arts taking a backseat to the goofy comedy in the last few trailers to the cop thriller Badges of Fury? Well, don't worry because an international trailer intended for the Singapore market (via Shaw Organisation/Scorpio East) has arrived and it showcases more of the fight choreography by action director Corey Yuen.

Chicago – “The Sorcerer and the White Snake” is a title that suggests the sort of tall tale that would entrance a crowd of scouts around a camp fire. It’s chockfull of fantastical creatures and action-packed setpieces, but its shoddy special effects cause it to fall short of pure enchantment. As for the story itself, it’s pure silliness.
Jet Li receives top-billing solely because he happens to be Jet Li, but he could hardly be considered the main character. This is primarily a star-crossed romance between a good-hearted physician, Xu Xian (Raymond Lam), who unwittingly falls in love with a demonic snake that takes the form of a seductive woman (Eva Huang). Their love appears to be genuine, especially after the snake saves his life, but master monk Abott Fahai (played by a bored Li) won’t allow such an outlandish union to take place, inspiring gloriously silly dialogue like,...

"Men are brothers! Women are laundry!"So goes one of the many pearls of wisdom in Hong Kong director Vincent Kok's new romantic comedy, the bizarrely titled Love Is... Pyjamas. It appears from this rather perplexing, if enthusiastic trailer that Ronald Cheng plays a TV relationship guru who imparts pearls of wisdom on his female audience about how to best treat their men. "As clothes", seems to be his advice. Nope, I'm not entirely sure what he means by that either, but no doubt I'll be watching the film when it opens in Hong Kong on 11 October. Cheng stars alongside Teresa Mo, Raymond Lam, Lynn Xiong, Karena Ng, Raymond Wong - and rather unwisely, Ronald Cheng appears in Blackface at one point. No doubt all will be...
