The production cost was 700 million yuan (about 790 million Hong Kong dollars), and would be released simultaneously in mainland Hong Kong on the Lunar New Year's Day. The movies' martial art fight scenes, wrestling, horse riding all were displayed with hardcore real kung fu. Director Yuen Woo Ping said that the enthusiasm of BLADES could be filmed differently. "I think it's very enjoyable. This time gathered four generations of martial arts people to shoot the purest martial arts. Every actor brings me surprises. I think action and martial arts films should be passed down from generation to generation, and martial arts films will definitely be better."

Also a producer, Wu Jing said that 10 years ago he has planned to convene a group of action actors to work together. This time his master and seniors agreed to participate in the performance right away. Tse Ting Fung said that he has always believed that martial arts is the advantage of Chinese movies, "BLADES gathers actors who can fight from the post-50s to the post-00s, and everyone puts in 200% effort."

In addition, the Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling and Taiwan star Eric Hsiao starred Macau film RE-VISIT (HUNG WAN GOK) would open on February 12th, adapting the true story of director Wong Ting Ting to commemorate her love for her grandmother.

Telling the story of Liu Kuan-ting and Yu Heung Ying's wedding, Liu's father and mother have been out of contact for many years. Liu Kuan-ting faced the parents rushing to preside over his life events, as he and Yu Heung Ying tried to hold two weddings in one day, which made a lot of jokes.
