Although the film is still early in production, China Central Television has already selected it as one of the most anticipated Chinese films of 2010. The U.S. film magazine Screen International also introduced it as such. The film has only been in production for a short month but the cast including Lau Tak Wa, Tse Ting Fung, Fan Bingbing, Yu Shaoqun, action director Yuen Kwai and others have better and better chemistry. Encouraged by all the good news, Ting Fung is practicing harder to prepare his performance. In the film he will face Lau Tak Wa's Seven Star Fist.
