Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan slashing onto screens in Blade of Kings


Here's some news that just came my way, and that's for the upcoming release of Blade of Kings, aka The Twins Effect 2, from Well Go USA. Starring Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan and Bing Bing Fan Star, it's set to hit Blu-ray + DVD combo pack and DVD on March 6th. Well Go USA having been releasing some really good titles of late, so I hopefull this will follow suit. The movie was originally released in 2004, and although I have yet to see this I did see The Twins Effect, and thought it was great fun. Full release details below.
