"Ulterior Motive" Chinese Theatrical Poster

It’s been 27 years since Arthur Wong made his mark with In the Line of Duty 3 (1988), now the Hong Kong filmmaker is back with Ulterior Motive, an upcoming action thriller starring Gordon Lam (Let’s Go), Qin Lan (The Last Supper), Simon Yam (SPL 2), Liu Wei, Steven Miao, Gao Xin, Qu Jingjing, Archie Kao and Ren Shan.

Wong – mostly known for his cinematography work for films such as 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978), Dirty Ho (1979), Big Bullet (1996), Knock-Off (1998), Bodyguards and Assassins (2009) – has directed only two films throughout his 38 year career, so Ulterior Motive is exciting news for old-school Hong Kong cinema fans! The film opens in Chinese theaters on September 17th, 2015.
