In an era of CGI-drenched superhero flicks and sanitized PG-13 action, Jimmy Hung’s Relentless Fury arrives like a double-barreled shotgun blast to the chest of modern cinema. The son of martial arts legend Sammo Hung isn’t just making another action movie, he’s resurrecting the gun-blazing mayhem that made Hong Kong action cinema a religious experience in the ’80s and ’90s.
The recently dropped trailer showcases stars Vanness Wu and Andy On locked in what can only be described as a bullet-riddled death dance through neon-lit urban hellscapes. These “two elite killers on a collision course” are bringing back the raw stunt work and choreographed gun battles that your Marvel-saturated brain has been starving for.
According to Action-Flix, “the younger Hung has understood the assignment he was given and has delivered an adrenaline spectacle that John Woo would be proud of.” Every frame of this trailer oozes with the DNA of classics like “Hard Boiled” and “A Better Tomorrow”—from the slow-motion diving gunmen to the perfectly timed explosions that aren’t created by some tech bro in a rendering farm.
The film made its streaming debut on Chinese platform iQIYI on July 11th, positioning it as both a love letter to die-hard action fans and a middle finger to the algorithm-designed content flooding our screens.
In Relentless Fury, you won’t find superheroes quipping between bloodless battles—you’ll find the gloriously excessive, unhinged carnage that made Hong Kong cinema a cult phenomenon. Jimmy Hung isn’t just carrying his father’s legacy; he’s reloading it with fresh ammo for a new generation. Catch the full trailer below:
