They both stagger to their feet and continue to fight. The red scarfed man is pinned to the edge of a railing while the blue shirted man stands above him. He avoids his attack and then kicks him causing him to spin through the air and almost fall off the building before grabbing hold of the railing.

Sammo himself plays Ching Fong-tin, a former outlaw with a wild scheme to make amends with the citizens of his struggling hometown of Hon Sui: explosively derail a brand new luxury express train en route from Shanghai so that its super-rich passengers will have no choice but to spend money in the town. He's not the only one with eyes on the passengers' deep pockets, however; a gang of ruthless bank-robbing bandits are on the way, looking for a priceless map being guarded by a trio of Japanese samurai. Bullets and fists will fill the air in equal measure, but will Hon Sui Town be left standing?
Working at the height of his powers alongside regular collaborator Yuen Biao, Sammo makes room for a dizzying line-up of guest appearances from many of the top talents in Hong Kong action cinema, from Shaw Brothers trailblazers like Jimmy Wang Yu (One-Armed Boxer) to fresh-faced newcomers like Cynthia Rothrock.
Dave Lizewski (Taylor-Johnson) is an ordinary teenager who goes unnoticed in high school until he takes a chance to "do something" and dons a mask and becomes "Kick-Ass" to fight real-life crime. Bruised and beaten and without any real super powers, he is saved by a father-daughter duo (Cage as "Big Daddy," Moretz as "Hit-Girl") who know all the right moves and have a vendetta against a vicious crime lord, D'Amico (Mark Strong). After a fiery internet storm of publicity for Kick-Ass, D'Amico wants to meet the masked man, and his son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) dons a costume of his own and becomes "Red Mist" to befriend him and get in his father's good graces. The story comes to a head when D'Amico succeeds in luring the crime fighters to his home and ass-kicking destruction ensues.
Lionsgate has been pumping out the 4K Ultra HD releases lately and here is another one in a standard steel slipcover to hardcover casing featuring the box art we have all come to know and love from the poster of its 2010 theatrical run. Inside we are gifted with a BD-66 Ultra HD Blu-ray that features Dolby Vision and HDR10, a BD-50 Blu-ray, plus an Ultraviolet Digital HD download code.

Wonka, the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory prequel starring Timothee Chalamet, is off to a hot start at the box office and the reviews have been largely positive. That said, you might have rushed out to the theater to see the film and decided that it's a must have for your Blu-ray collection. If that's the case, your options kicked off today with a 4K Blu-ray SteelBook that you can pre-order exclusively here at Walmart now. Inside that link you'll also find pre-order options for the standard Blu-ray and DVD.
Target is also offering an exclusive standard Blu-ray that includes character cards. We expect that additional exclusive options will be available here at Amazon and here at Best Buy in the coming days along with standard 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD editions. Naturally, details on bonus features haven't been revealed this early on, but this article will be updated with that information when it becomes available.
Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl's most iconic children's book and one of the best-selling children's books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.
"With these new units, Sony is now offering consumers a host of multi-media PC options to choose from," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics. "And with a starting price of around $1,000 for the NS model, we're expecting a new audience to experience HD entertainment on their computers."
The NS model easily accesses your music, movies and the Internet. Its integrated A/V mode features a dedicated menu, putting entertainment within easy reach by letting you select up to nine programs, such as a favorite web site, from one location.
Its instant A/V mode lets you kick off your entertainment with ease. Go straight to watching a movie, playing music, or viewing photos with the touch of a button. A built-in A/V slide control also lets you control all functions (play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, stop, eject, etc.) all with one-touch ease.
The PC has a uniquely configured keyboard, designed with spacing between the keys, for a comfortable typing experience. A specialized keyboard font adds a fun touch. The unit also has a 12-tone music analyzer that translates your music into a colorful LED light show that plays out beneath the palm rest of the PC.
