| Tony Jaa and Lundgren’s ‘Skin Trade’ gets a release date! Posted: 13 Feb 2015 12:10 AM PST  "Skin Trade" Promotional Poster THE MOVIE: When a tough-as-nails New York cop finds his family murdered by a drug kingpin, he swears revenge and hops on a plane to pursue their killer to Bangkok. Once in the seedy Thai underworld, he teams up with a local detective to bust heads and right what has been wronged. While this may sound like a familiar set-up for a buddy/cop movie, action buffs should be pleased to hear that this movie will unite Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables) as the NYC cop with Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak) as the Thai detective! You may recall that Dolph and Tony made something of a deal: Dolph would star in a Thai movie with Tony – the currently filming A Man Will Rise – and then Tony would make the trip to America to shoot a movie with Dolph. Now we know that American film is Skin Trade. Update: Twitch relays news from Dolph’s Instagram account – Beautiful Boxer director Ekachai Uekrongtham will helm Skin Trade. The film is based on a screenplay written by Dolph Lundgren, with another draft from Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning filmmaker John Hyams. | Promotional poster. | Film Combat Syndicate has an interview with Tony Jaa, where he talks about Skin Trade, Tom Yum Goong 2, Fast and Furious 7 and much more! | Michael Jai White (Never Back Down) and Ron Pearlman (Drive) have joined the cast.

| Loren Avedon and Jalal Merhi are back with ‘Risk Factor’! Posted: 13 Feb 2015 12:05 AM PST  "Risk Factor" Promotional Poster Martial arts stars Loren Avedon (No Retreat No Surrender 2) and Jalal Merhi (TC 2000) are back in Frank A. Caruso’s Risk Factor, an ultra low-budget film that was shot in 2011 and edited in 2013. Risk Factor follows Alex (Merhi), a retired CIA operative who is lured back into the game by a femme fatale (Elise Muller). Things get complicated when Alex’s former partner (Avedon) gets involved. In the 90s, Avedon and Merhi – along with stars like Don “The Dragon” Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock – dominated the straight-to-video scene with films like King of the Kickboxers, Ring of Fire and Tiger Claws. Their titles were hit or miss, but it was always exciting to see their faces on VHS box covers. Updates: According to carusofilms.com, Rick Factor will soon be released on iTunes. Until then, be sure to catch the film’s latest trailer. |
