I have the first Storm Riders. No Sonny Chiba? Boo. I'll still watch the second one.
Any one into recent Hong Kong cinema will have seen the original Storm Riders (you can see the trailer for the original if you haven't seen the movie here) and finally a sequel is in the works with the original cast (minus Sonny Chiba). At the time the special effects for a foreign movie was pretty decent so it will be pretty interesting to see how they turn out for the new one.

From what I remember of the first one, it was really cool. The FX vaguely remind me of a Godzilla flick x The Last Blade for Neo Geo.
I hope this new one doesn't get too ambitious for it's own good, special effects wise.
The special effects look to be ambitious, Yeller. According to Wikipedia, "Filming is expected to begin in April of 2008 with a release in October or late 2009. The budget is reportedly $12 million and filming will be done all on blue screen, reminiscent of the Hollywood film 300."
Can't wait for this. I liked the 1st.
Whoa, Storm Riders without Sonny Chiba? Oh well, I hope the effects and action will make up for it.
Awesome. I definitely look forward to this.
Hopefully it turns out good. Liked the original back in the day.
Awesome news....I can't wait till it comes out.
