Watch Terrance Lau and Philip Ng in the Stuntman trailer

Get ready for a powerful and action-packed story, shedding light on the unsung heroes of the film industry.

In Stuntman, a washed-up action choreographer, struggling to find his way in a changing industry, risks everything to stage an epic comeback, but can he repair the damage to his relationship with his estranged daughter, before it’s too late?

The top tier cast includes Terrance Lau (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Anita) and Philip Ng (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Birth of the Dragon). Also starring is stunt veteran Stephen Tung Wai (The Battle at Lake Changjin, Hard Boiled), a seven-time winner of Best Action Choreography at the Hong Kong Film Awards, making his on-camera return after seven years. The cast also features Cecilia Choi (A Light Never Goes Out, Beyond the Dream) and Rachel Leung (The Sparring Partner, In Broad Daylight).

Recreating the spirit of classic Hong Kong action cinema, particularly in adapting iconic fight locations such as footbridges and shopping centre escalators, Stuntman will be essential for fans of the 1980s golden era.

From the producer of Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, this hard-hitting story is directed by real-life stuntmen turned filmmakers, Albert and Herbert Leung. The directors channel their own experiences to combine bruising action with a deeply moving story, showcasing the enduring impact and legacy of stunt professionals.

Trinity CineAsia presents Stuntman in UK and Irish cinemas from 11 October.
