Kill Zone 2 will be released in theaters May 13 and on Blu-Ray & DVD July 19.



SPL 2: A Time for Consequences in Australian cinemas on July 30.


With a budget of $23,000,000 SPL 2: A Time for Consequences already grossed $87,680,000.


The action movie, SPL 2, which is produced by Wilson Yip and stars Hong Kong actor Simon Yam and mainland Chinese actor Wu Jing, will open in theaters on June 18.

SPL 2 is the sequel to the 2005 martial arts movie SPL: Sha Po Lang, which was released as Kill Zone in the United States. Although SPL was a box office hit, it was deemed too violent and was not approved to be released in mainland China. However, SPL 2 has received approval for release in mainland Chinese theaters, even though production company Bona Film Group has deemed it “even more ferocious” than its predecessor.


Take a look at two new videos for SPL 2.

Plot: A Hong Kong cop named Kit busts a major gangster only to find his cover blown and his main witness gone. The gangster, in retaliation, has him kidnapped and put in a Thai jail with a false criminal identity. A lowly prison guard Chai with extraordinary fighting skills guards kit and prevents his escape from prison. The prison guard’s daughter suffers from a rare form of leukemia and Kit is the only donor who can save her. The prison guard discovers Kit’s real identity and helps him to escape in return for his agreeing to save his daughter. Together, Kit and Chai must face the gangster and his minions and take them down.

According to the synopsis submitted to State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the film is about a Thai prison guard who needs to free an undercover cop who can save his daughter’s life.


From Tony Jaa: “Hi Everyone. I am really excited to tell you that I will be starring in SPL 2, the sequel to the action thriller SPL (Sha Po Lang). I am equally excited to have Wu Jing the star of Legendary Assassin as my co-star. There are some really neat additional cast members that you will hear about soon and the action will be amazing. SPL 2 will shoot next Spring. Best Wishes TJ.”

According to mtime.com, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa will no longer be starring in S.P.L. 2; however, Yen may make a cameo or guest appearance. The movie is now also being helmed by Soi Cheang (Motorway) with Wilson Yip serving as producer. For now, Sammo Hung, Wu Jing, Andy On and Francis Ng are still onboard.

SPL 2 got a green light. Martial arts film was released in North America under the title Kill Zone and helped provide a boost to Donnie Yen’s and Sammo Hung’s popularity, before they collaborated again three years later on 2008′s Ip Man.

SPL 2: A Time For Consequences

SPL opened in Hong Kong on 18 November 2005. In its first three days it grossed HK$2,166,088. It stayed in the number one position at the Hong Kong box office until 6 December, and eventually grossed HK$7,425,473 in its entire run.

Dennis Law initially planned to make his own sequel to SPL, which would focus on the Sammo Hung character, then realized that the prequel/sequel idea had limited potential, especially when he wanted to show the relationship between the Sammo Hung and Wu Jing characters. Eventually he rewrote the script for his film Fatal Move with Sammo Hung and Simon Yam.

Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, and Wu Jing are expected to return. But here’s where the rumor really stretches credibility: sources say Thai superstar Tony Jaa will also make an appearance in the film. If it sounds too good to be true, it might just be… but stay tuned for more on the story as it develops.

Does it mean that Ip Man 3 would not happen in 2014? But who knows what producers will come with tomorrow…
