‘𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦’ 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗜𝗡 🇦🇺⁣ 𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 & 𝗗𝗩𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦⁣ ⁣ 🎬 𝗦𝗬𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗦𝗜𝗦 & 😎 𝗡𝗢𝗡-𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪:⁣ ⁣ 🎬: After an apparent 'heart attack’ death of Sifu Cheung [Roger Yuan] at the hands of an ominous yet deadly opponent, his 3 former Gung Fu disciples - Danny ‘8 Hands’ [Alain Uy], Hing [Ron Yuan] & Jim [Mykel Shannon Jenkins] - come together after not speaking to one another for decades.⁣ ⁣ Despite their now physical limitations & everyday lives/dramas, the 3 ‘Tigers’ begrudgingly try to find out what really happened to their estranged teacher/father after being prompted by an old foe, Carter [Matthew Page], who is now a Sifu, himself.⁣ ⁣ Can the senescent men avenge Sifu Cheung’s death when they, themselves, are one kick away from pulling their own hamstrings?⁣ ⁣ 😎: Interestingly, many martial arts movies depict aging protagonists as still being physically able to be like they once were, even after years of being sedentary. Writer/director Quoc Bao Tran is far more realistic in his comedic depiction of middle age.⁣ ⁣ Ron Yuan & Matthew Page are standouts. Hing, seen as Sifu Cheung’s favourite, had mastered the healing side of Gung Fu [the correct way to say Kung Fu], yet he's the least physically able of the 3 after a scaffolding accident years earlier. Constantly wearing a knee brace, he forgets his own limitations & the sound that his knee makes when it pops will send shivers down your spine - in both a cringe-worthy yet amusing way.⁣ ⁣ Carter, however, is as farcical as he his serious; as a teen, he was a gifted martial artist but could never defeat Danny. Now middle-aged, Carter keeps referring to the Chinese as his people & keeps speaking in Chinese - despite being a Caucasian.⁣ ⁣ Filled with in-jokes & paying homage to classic martial arts movies, Quoc Bao Tran has created a very likeable film that asks the question: is it possible to age gracefully?⁣ ⁣ Thanks to @UmbrellaEntertainment; ‘The Paper Tigers,’ rated 𝗠, is available in 🇦🇺 on DVD & Digital [via @GooglePlay, @AppleTV, @Fetch.Au, @Foxtel & @PrimeVideoAuNz] now. ©️ #ThePaperTIgers #ad (at The Paper Tigers) https://www.instagram.com/pressphotog/p/CXrsrjLPrq7/?utm_medium=tumblr

First look at The Paper Tigers

A new trailer has been released for The Paper Tigers. No release date was specified.

As teenagers, kung fu disciples Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Fast forward 25 years, and each has grown into a washed-up middle-aged man seemingly one kick away from pulling a hamstring—and not at all preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends. But when their old master is murdered, the trio reunites, soon learning that avenging their sifu will require conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with ample knee cartilage) if they are to honorably defend his legacy.
