Early in the project’s development Kong, whose credits include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, and House Of Flying Daggers, joined forces with XYZ Films of The Raid franchise among many other genre titles.

Veteran action choreographer Kenji Tanigaki makes his feature directorial debut from a script by Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui. The cast features Xie Miao, Joe Taslim from The Raid, Yang Enyou, Brian Le, Yayan Ruhian, Jija Yanin, Joey Iwanaga, Sahajak Boonthanakit, and Manatsanun Phanlerdwongsakul.

Bill Kong of Edko Films produced with Hui and Shan Tam. Executive producers include Nate Bolotin, Todd Brown, Maxime Cottray, Nick Spicer, and Aram Tertzakian of XYZ Films, with Michael J. Werner and Xu Tianfu.
