Review
Mandy slaves away at two jobs struggling to support her family, while dreaming about resurrecting her father’s martial arts academy. When Mandy rescues wealthy businessman, Ho Kwan from muggers, he offers her a job as his bodyguard, support her family and restore her father’s academy. Before long, kidnappers appear and despite Mandy’s efforts to protect Ho Kwan, he is abducted. However, he manages to slip Mandy a box containing a key to a mainframe that controls online betting on fights to the death. Upon investigating, Mandy learns that Ho Kwan was kidnapped by a ruthless gambling impresario, Sung. In order to reach Ho Kwan, Mandy will have to join the tournament and gamble with her life.

CHOCOLATE star Jeeja Yanin may have some real competition soon when action director Xiong Xin-xin’s COWEB and its female star Jiang Lu-xia are unveiled in May. Chinese media reports that post-production has ended on this contemporary wushu movie and that mainland Chinese censors have now approved final cut.

COWEB stars Jiang Lu-xia, a female martial artist who rose to fame in China by displaying her martial arts skills in a series of short films on the internet before becoming a finalist in Jackie Chan’s reality TV series THE DISCIPLE.

In the film, Jiang is a mainland wushu coach named Nie Yi-yi who finds herself implicated in a kidnapping case involving her employer and his wife in Hong Kong. In order to rescue them she is forced to battle a variety of fighters. What she doesn’t know is that her fights are being video taped and broadcast live on a web site linked to an illegal gambling den.

Jiang is joined by co-stars Sam Lee (INVISIBLE TARGET), Cheung Siu-fai (FATAL MOVE), German stunt actor Mike Moller (THE CHALLENGE), and Japanese-American martial arts actor Kane Kosugi, son of ninja movie star Sho Kosugi.

This film came about due to Xiong’s interest in bringing fresh martial arts talent to the Chinese film industry, something that has been widely regarded as being in decline despite the continued success of established talents like Jet Li, Donnie Yen and Jacky Wu Jing.

Once a stunt double for Jet Li, Mainland martial artist Xiong Xin Xin went on to develop himself into a famous kung fu actor and action director. With Once Upon a Time in China II, he was nominated for Best New Performer at Hong Kong Film Awards in 1993, and Seven Swords won him a Golden Horse Best Action Choreographer Award in 2005. Today, Xiong is intent on passing his martial arts mantle to a new generation of action stars. In his first outing as a director, Xiong fills Coweb with tight-paced and stunningly choreographed fight scenes in the best tradition of Hong Kong action cinema, but promising newcomer Jiang Luxia shows that she is up to the challenge by doing all the complex stunts herself. A national Shaolin martial arts champion, Jiang got her first taste of fame when she posted videos showing off her kung fu capabilities on the Internet, which is how she caught the attention of Xiong. After her big-screen debut, Jiang – still a college student – is widely tipped to be the next big thing in Asian kung fu cinema.

Presented by Hong Kong Film Development Fund and produced by Joe Ma (Love Undercover), Coweb co-stars veteran Hong Kong actors Sam Lee (Dog Bite Dog) and Eddie Cheung (Fatal Move). The story follows Nie Yiyi (Jiang Luxia), a 20-year-old Guangdong martial arts instructor who has not recovered from the shock of her father’s tragic murder. Yiyi’s childhood best friend Chung Tin (Sam Lee) persuades her to go to Hong Kong and becomes the bodyguard for tycoon Ho Kwun (Eddie Cheung). One day, Ho is kidnapped in mysterious circumstances. With the help of Chung, Yiyi launches herself into a bold rescue mission, but soon finds herself swept in a fighting tournament, Game of Death style. Yiyi refuses to be a pawn of the underground boxing organization behind all this, but in order to save Ho, she has no choice but to gamble her life and finish her deadly mission, one fight at a time…
