It’s been 43 years since the passing of Bruce Lee, yet the spirit of the martial arts icon is more powerful than ever. In addition to George Nolfi’s upcoming Bruce Lee biopic, Birth of the Dragon, a film titled Double Dragon – no relation to the popular arcade game of the same name – is finding its way to Chinese theaters this year.

Not much is known of the film, but judging from its trailer, the movie has Bruce Lee’s persona all over it. One of the guys even wears the famous yellow tracksuit made famous by Bruce in Game of Death.

Double Dragon is reminiscent of the popular Bruceploitation subgenre made famous by Dragon Lee, Bruce Li and Bruce Le in the 70s and 80s. If this is your kind of thing, don’t miss its trailer!

There can never be enough Asian gangster flicks, and Gao Xixi’s The Game Changer, an upcoming period actioner, is no exception. The Game Changer is about gang wars in Shanghai in the 1930′s (supposedly based on The Bund, a TVB series that has been compared to The Godfather).

The Game Changer stars Huang Zitao (The Railroad Tigers), Wang Xueqi (Monk Comes Down the Mountain), Peter Ho (The Monkey King) and South Korean actress Choo Ja-hyeon (Bloody Tie).

The Game Changer will be hitting Chinese theaters this year. If you’re a fan of gangster flicks, you don’t want to miss the film’s first trailer (via AFS), which promises a good balance of drama and shoot ‘em up action.
