*Kung Fu Cyborg will be widely released across China at Aug.20th with 1500 prints targeting Euro 20M Box Office as the most anticipated Chinese movie in this coming summer! Director: Jeff Lau (Kung Fu Hustle) /Art Director :Bill Lui (Infernal Affairs II/Lust, Caution/Painted Skin) /Action Director: Yuen Tak (Fong Sai Yuk/Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon)/Starring: Hujun(Red Cliff/Lan Yu, Infernal Affairs II ) Ronald Cheng (My Lucky Star/Dragon Loaded 2003), Sun Li (Painted Skin).Wu Jing(SPL/ Invisible Target/The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor/Legendary Assassin). In 2046, designed to handle the extreme assignments, De Ming is the first revolutionary intellectual cyborg coded as”K-1” by TN Research Bureau, who is sent to a remote town as a covert training operation. De Ming is placed under the supervision of the local police captain, Xu Dachun. Charmed with the talent for delivering both justice and compassion, De Ming is quick to win the hearts of the town residents including Su Mei’s, who is a female police officer. Nothing in De Ming’s programming has prepared him for this. But affairs of the heart are put on hold when word arrives that one of De Ming’s cybernetic siblings, the K-88, has disappeared after suffering a critical neural meltdown. Together, the two men hunt down and confront the malfunctioning cyborg in a spectacular clash of artificial wills that leaves the captain scarred, and De Ming confused and conflicted about his role in human society. Su Mei’s behavior is no less troubling as she seems incapable of understanding that as a machine he is unable to love her in the way she so desperately desires. Torn between his bond to humanity and the knowledge that he will never be a part of it, De Ming must find within himself the strength to defeat the group of cyborg assassins that has descended on the town to avenge his betrayal of their kind. "Why can't a cyborg question his creator like man questions God?"--that' s the last words of K-88 in year 2046.
