Ultimate Revenge 衝鋒: 火拼 [2026] Directed By: Terry Ng Ka-Wai Long time AD for the Storm films (L Storm, G Storm and S Storm for example) and countless other films like Donnie Yen's The Prosecutor. We get Terry on his 6th directed film and got German Cheung for Action Direction.

I also tried to tell people to wait but couldn't share all the specifics (and it wasn’t just because I contributed essays). Arrow just did better work across the board with these releases, including with their restorations, subs from someone who actually speaks Cantonese, the artwork, etc.

Some amazing films I got to work on which all happened to be dream projects. Especially the icing on being part of the V-Cinema Boxset which I been extremely vocal about over the years and being asked to be part of two Takashi Ishii boxsets still got me in cloud 9. Teaser for 2026 projects.

Is that time! It was awesome to be once again part of this years recap.
