Iron Dragon TV And Well Go USA Are Screening BLADE OF KINGS Next Week!
At some point between the years on both ends of the new millenium, the Hong Kong action genre remained in its prominence with films led by young pop stars. One such title included the modern zany vampire action flick, The Twins Effect, themed around the popularity of Hong Kong singing duo Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung as they were leaving their mark on the big screen as actresses in a few action comedies of their own.

Quirky dialogue and stylish action with some vampiric lore featuring a particularly young cast are the formula here, and it surprisingly led to a sequel a year later which had absolutely nothing to do with it. That one was simply titled The Twins Effect 2 for its release with several of our young actors returning, including our lead actresses, with action legend Corey Yuen and Patrick Leung sharing the directors' hat. These films weren't for everyone as they were mainly for the younger crowd familiar with the cast, and action star legends Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan - both who share a place working on the first and second film.

Alas, the latter finally ended up with a more appropriate title for its DVD release just a few years ago with its acquisition by Well Go USA as Blade Of Kings. Still, for the fans and anyone interested and living in Texas willing to make the trip to Austin, the film is getting a screening on Tuesday, April 21 at 9:00pm at Violet Crown Cinema. The event page is up where tickets are available, and to familiarize yourself, check out the trailer below!
