The Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung and other starred TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN set off a craze before and after its release. With the sharp box office, the cast and the crew were given a shot in the arm. Director Soi Cheang Pou Soi has planned to turn the movie into a trilogy, starting production on the prequel and the final chapter respectively. Among them the role of "Lui Chun Tung", which has never been officially revealed, has become the biggest mystery of the prequel. Recently Chow Yun Fat or Sean Lau Ching Wan have been rumored for the role.

TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) was released in Hong Kong for 62 consecutive days two year ago, setting a record box office of more than HK$ 100 million. Its global box office even exceeded HK$850 million, as it has made "appearance" in many international film events like the Cannes Film Festival and rekindle the Hong Kong action film fever.

Director Cheang Pou Soi won the "Best Director" at the Huading Awards, the Hong Kong Awards, etc. for the film, and clearly stated that he wanted to spin TWILIGHT into a trilogy. Lam Fung revealed good news in an interview with Japanese media earlier, saying that the final chapter will start filming in March and there will be two months of special training in retreat beforehand. According to the latest news, the TWILIGHT production team has been approved by the mainland Film Bureau for the project for the final chapter and the prequel TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: DRAGON THRONE". The news confirmed that the production starts looked promising, and the preparation for the film is currently in full swing.

TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: DRAGON THRONE would have the Walled City Elders" Louis Koo Tin Lok, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) carry the heavy load. In the film Kwok Fu Sing's character "Chan Jim"'s boss "Lui Chun Tung" has never officially appeared. The key role was once rumored to be played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai, but he has already clarified that he has not yet received an invitation. Kwok Fu Sing believed that Chow Yun Fat is more suitable for the character, but recently it has been rumored that Sean Lau Ching Wan would take over. All of a sudden there are different opinions.

For Chow Yun Fat or Lau Ching Wan to play "Lui Chun Tung", the responses online have been enthusiastic. Both of them have been praised as good actors, but some pointed out that the characters in the film are either tough guys and madmen. Chow Yun Fat does not seem to be either and Lau Ching Wan would be even more suitable. As for the characters "Four Sons of the Walled City" Raymond Lam Fung, Terrance Lau Chun Him, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and German Cheung Man Kit played, they were not yet born when the prequel story occurred so they would have no role. Some thought that would be the only imperfection.
