Summary
A brief teaser for Stephen Chow’s completed 'Kung Fu Soccer' has been released, signaling that the long-awaited sequel to 2001 hit 'Shaolin Soccer' is moving into theaters.
The Hong Kong-China co-production is set to open in Chinese cinemas this weekend, with a broader international rollout expected to come more gradually.
The new film arrives 25 years after the original martial-arts sports comedy, which built a strong following in Hong Kong, China and overseas.
Its release also marks Chow’s return to one of his best-known franchises, reviving a title that became a cult favorite in the early 2000s.
