Reuniting after 10 years since their first collaboration in The Storm Riders, Hong Kong actors Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng also recorded the theme song for the sequel The Storm Warriors. The two stars and film directors the Pang Brothers (Danny and Oxide) were in town recently to promote the wuxia flick, which opens in cinemas next Thursday.In an interview, Aaron attributed his reunion with Ekin, who also starred in the original movie, to "fate" and shared that it has deepened their friendship with each other.
The movie's theme song, a duet performed by Aaron and Ekin, was shrouded in rumours that the two stars fought over who should sing the theme song.
Addressing the gossip, Aaron said that "Those reports are really silly. Just look at how we're performing a duet, you will know that there is nothing wrong [between us]. [Ekin's] singing is not bad."
A decade since the first movie was release, the 44-year-old shared that he has a different outlook on things now. "10 years ago, I acted under the identity of an actor. The director wanted to film the show with a comic book effect and yet wanted to create a human role."
The Storm Warriors centres heavily on explosive martial arts chorography and fight sequences. So it's hardly any surprise that Aaron Kwok, who reprises his role from the original movie, suffered for his art - whether or not it had anything to do with the action.
He revealed that he "saw blood" during the three months of filming. A freak accident occurred in one of the explosion scenes When a crew member accidentally misplaced a staple at the film site and when the blast took place, small staples were shot into Aaron's arm.
"I felt a very long sharp object piercing inside. And a while later, my arm began to swell, and it was as big as half an egg. The pain's comparable to that of a pistol bullet!"
Luckily for Aaron, his injuries were not very serious and he was discharged from the hospital on the day itself. As he did not wish to cause his mother further worry, he requested the production crew to keep it a secret, lest the news got out, sparking a media frenzy.
The filial son said that his mother had already been informed about the matter before he left for his movie promotional stopover in Singapore.
Catch The Storm Warriors when it opens here on Dec 10.
