Od producenata filmova Painted Skin i Painted Skin: The Resurrection nam stiže još jedan Hongkongoški akcijski borilački fantasy film pod naslovom The Wrath Of Vajra. Režiju ovog filma potpisuje Wing-cheong Law koji je do sada režirao naslove kao što su Running Out of Time 2 i Punished, a trenutačno završava sa snimanjem filma The Iceman Cometh u kojem glavnu ulogu igra Azijska borilačka zvijezda Donnie Yen. Glavnu ulogu u ovom filmu pak igra Yu Xing kojemu je ovo prva glavna uloga u karijeri nakon što se već pojavio u naslovima kao što su Yip Man, Flash Point, Dragon Tiger Gate, Shaolin, Kung Fu Hustle, te mnogim drugim, igrajući uglavnom sporedne uloge raznoraznih razbijača. Radnja ovoga filma prati kineskoga mladića kojega je Japanski kult smrti pod imenom Temple of Hades oteo kao 8-godišnjaka i istrenirao da postane smrtonosni ubojica. Ali njihova egzistencija postane upitna kada se taj mladić suprotstavi Japanskoj invaziji na Kinu. Uz Xinga u filmu još igraju Sung-jun Yoo, Nam Hyun-joon, Baocheng Jiang, Zhang Yamei, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi i Yasuaki Kurata. The Wrath Of Vajra je snimljen u 3D tehnici, a u Kini bi trebao izaći do kraja ljeta 2013., ali ne zna se još kada točno.
RADNJA
In the 1930s, before the Western powers entered World War II, a Japanese death cult called the Temple of Hades is ordered to work alongside the military to aid in the spiritual destruction of China. The elite warriors belive that the war can be won without the use of man-made weapons. They buy young children from impoverished parents and train them in martial arts to be assassins serving the Japanese Empire.
When he was 8 years old, Vajrasattva was among the children sold to the Temple of Hades. Forced by his captors to fight for food, he accidentally caused the death of his brother. He made a secret oath to take revenge. Many years later, and now the greatest assassin in the temple, he escapes to China and joins the Southern Shaolin Temple, where he receives spiritual enlightenment and vows to protect his own country against the Japanese.
