Kung fu films are coming back to screens from Tiger Style Media.

Art of Eight Limbs is the first of four films launched this fall that showcases the wonderful action sequences and fighting styles of the 70s, 80s, and 90s kung fu action movies.

The film stars Ludi Lin (Power Rangers, Mortal Kombat), Grace Vorananth (Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Pachara Montra), Sahajak Boonthanakit (Only God Forgives, No Escape), Vithaya Pansringarm (Only God Forgives, The Last Executioner), and with Nicholas Hammond (The Sound of Music, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles).

Robert Grasmere directed the movie, which was based on a screenplay by H. Daniel Gross, Ryan Jaeger, and Louis Spiegler.

Here is the full synopsis:

In this action-packed thriller from a producer of Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, Ludi Lin stars as a CIA data analyst and part-time kickboxer. Sent on a mission to Myanmar, he must infiltrate a martial arts tournament that serves as a cover for an arms dealer auctioning VX Nerve Gas. His objective: deliver a critical detection device to allies. However, as the mission spirals out of control, he is forced to confront the world’s most ruthless fighters, standing as the last line of defense against a time-ticking global threat.
