I’m always game for a new Scott Adkins movie. And I’m always
game for a new Marko Zaror movie. Put them together, like in the upcoming period
actioner Savage Dog, and I start salivating like, well, a
hungry dog. Currently in production, a new marketing poster for the film
appeared on the airwaves. Check it out below.
Scott Adkins shared the poster on his Facebook page, and
though it doesn’t reveal much we don’t already know about Savage
Dog, it looks suitably badass.
Written and directed by Jesse V. Johnson (Pit
Fighter, Green Street Hooligans 2, and stunt work
on a ton of pictures), Savage Dog takes place in Indochina
in 1958. As the tagline on the poster says, “The French have left, the
Americans have yet to arrive. But one man has declared war.” That’s really all the
plot we know, but anytime one man wants to declare war, there’s a solid chance
I’ll watch the result.
Connoisseurs of this particular brand of gritty,
bone-breaking, direct to video action know Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror are two
of the preeminent action stars currently working in the world. It’s great to
see them team up again after Undisputed 3. Between these
guys and Johnson’s stunt background, the action promises to deliver just what
fans want.
But Savage Dog sweetens the pot even
more. Juju Chan, star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of
Destiny—not to mention a Muay Thai champion, Tae Kwon Do black belt, and
rising action star in her own right—joins the party. As does MMA fighter turned
cinematic face puncher, Cung Le (The Man with the Iron
Fists, Pandorum). General badass, Keith David
(The Thing) gets in on the fun, as do the likes of Sheena
Chou (Shanghai Hotel), Aki Aleong (Pound ofFlesh), and Vladimir Kulich (The Equalizer). All
in all, Johnson and company have put together a solid package of ass kickery.
At the moment Savage Dog still finds
itself somewhere along the production line, so we don’t have a hard and fast
release date outside of 2017. But just knowing we have this to look forward to
is enough to put a smile on my face in an otherwise droll, dull world.
