The movie STUNTMAN (MO TAI DOH) will be released on September 26. Following TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING), Terrance Lau Chun Him, Philip Ng Won Lung, and Cecilia Choi Sze Wan once again collaborated in the movie STUNTMAN. In addition to young actors, seven-time Hong Kong Film Awards Best Action Choreography Award winner Stephen Tung Wai, who has rarely made onscreen performance in recent years, has been invited to play the role of a has-been martial artist with a stubborn personality. He uses his past life experiences to bring out the emotions of Hong Kong action movies and pass on the spirit.

Twin directors who both started action actors, Albert Leung Koon Hiu and Herbert Leung Koon Shun have directed many independent short films in the past. This time they directed their first feature film STUNTMAN, using their personal martial arts experience over the years to recreate the 1980s Hong Kong action film's golden age and shoot at locations that were frequently seen in fight scenes in past movies. The two Directors Leung did not forget their original intentions and said, "The most prosperous era of Hong Kong action movies was the golden age of Hong Kong. STUNTMAN tells the story of the ups and downs in the life of the has-been martial arts star Sam, which reflected the highs and lows of Hong Kong action movies. Sam returned to the world to pass on the professionalism of stunt people to young people, hoping that he could continue what his predecessors have done and make good Hong Kong movies. This is exactly our vision. Now Hong Kong action movies and even the whole film industry are facing difficulties, but there is still a group of young film workers who are working hard and hoping to revive the past glory of Hong Kong films."

In the trailer, Tung Wei quickly and ruthlessly said the simple word "fight" and he was very impressive, while the Lau Chun Him played action actor was sliding down the stairs awkwardly and made a beautiful contrast. Tung Wai also said, "In past Hong Kong films, who hasn't given their all? No matter how big the storm, the fire cannot be extinguished!"
