A
Tomb-Raiding Blockbuster inspired by TIME
RAIDERS
Also
Known As: LOST TOMB
director:
Jingwu Ning
starring: Ray Chang ·
Jeana Ho ·
Sara Yan Li · Yulai Lu · Tse Kwan-Ho
A
shy young man named Xie Chunhua (of course played by current TV pop
fave Ray Chang who interestingly found fame with the lesbian ghost story
MAKE
UP) wants to be an archaeologist. He convinces a group of his
friends to climb into the catacombs in search of the secret tomb of
a princess. Obviously, this gang should not be descending into strange
places and things soon take a turn for the worse.
Jeana
Ho has been very active since 2010, building a name for herself through
numerous high profile projects including Jade Leung's SPECIAL
FEMALE FORCE, Wong Kar Wai's GRANDMASTER
and Jet Li's BADGE
OF FURY. This film is the Chinese debut for her co-star American-born
Sara Yan Li who is best known for her role in Fast and the Furious
6 (2014).
It
is odd that films, books and television shows about tomb-plundering
have become so popular in China, given the governments hardline
against the practice. This is yet another hit on the successful heels
of TIME
RAIDERS.
A Chinese
film, with Chinese and English subtitles; widescreen format, fully uncut
(85 minutes),
DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC WORLD FORMAT; extras include selected
trailers.
