[edit] Production
The film reunites writer-director Dennis Law, with initially the same crew he used to make the 2006 film Fatal Contact.
Law originally wanted the film to be a sequel to SPL: Sha Po Lang, which would focus on the Sammo Hung character for that film. Law then realized that the prequel/sequel idea had limited potential, especially when he wanted to show the relationship between the Sammo Hung and Wu Jing characters. Though it has themes similar to SPL, and reunites Wu Jing and Sammo Hung, Law’s Fatal Move is a completely original work.[1]
For Fatal Move, Law wanted to set his sights on North American audiences, by assembling a cast of familiar actors that are best known to them, such as Sammo Hung, Ken Lo, Simon Yam and Danny Lee.
Law believes that the martial arts scenes are the strongest asset of Fatal Move, in particular, the major weapon fight scene between Sammo Hung and Wu Jing. [2]
[edit] Category III Rating
The film was awarded a Category III rating for its execessive amount of violence. The film was not given a release in Mainland China, since Law refused to compromise by editing a tamer version that conforms to their strict censorship. [3]
