The HK$ 300 million giant film production TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) would open on May 1st. The production team released the ultimate trailer and the production special WALLED IN NOSTALGIA CHAPTER. The film not only displayed the strongest martial art action but also brought back the details of the 80s Walled city streets and corners. The production team revived the Kowloon Walled City lives, sights and sounds that have vanished for 30 years on the silver screen.

Director Soi Cheang Pou Soi said, "The impression The Walled City gave me was a fallen castle. We want to change everyone's impression of the Walled City. Everyone feels the Walled City was lawless, with sex, gambling and drug. Actually in the 80s the Walled City resembled a big factory. Everyone put their roots down here, which was a snapshot of Hong Kong. At the time everyone was working hard, ultimately as long as they worked hard they would be able to find their lives. They might not get rich, but they were able to make a living. The Walled City let you enter to take a breath, after the storm to properly build yourself and stay to live in Hong Kong." Louis Koo Tin Lok felt that the Walled City flavor was a memory, and said that when he watched this production set he truly was wowed. "Actually the Walled City immersion is a memory, like your favorite dish since childhood Mama made; no matter where you go you wouldn't get that flavor because only Mama could. No matter where you live later, this memory would never change."

Raymond Lam Fung also said, "I played Chan Lok Kwan who stumbled into this place, came in contact with different neighbors. While at work, he started to feel everyone's care. Actually they were all people with blood and flesh." Terrance Lau Chun Him said, "The Walled City flavor was your identity. Wherever you came from, you would carry it in life. This is who you are." Tony Wu Tsz Tung said, "I feel that Walled City spirit, where we are this flavor is there." German Cheung Man Kit said, "Both what was good and bad about the Kowloon Walled City were already in the bones."

Lam Fung, Lau Chun Him, Wu Tsz Tung and Cheung Man Kit have been busy with promoting the film. Yesterday (the 16th) was Wu Tsz Tung's 32nd birthday. The three brothers took the opportunity to present him with a birthday cake and well wishes.
