Remembering Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng as Wind and Cloud

Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng were also popular for Storm Riders which two films were produced. We have:

The first Storm Riders film, they were known as Wind and Cloud based on a popular Chinese comic book in the 60s. The whole plot revolved around them being destined to overthrow Lord Thunder who was acted by Japanese martial artist Sonny Chiba who founded the Japan Action Club (which also was heavily involved in the tokusatsu genre such as Super Sentai and Kamen Rider to this day) which is now Japan Action Enterprise. So far, the whole plot revolved around them with Kristy Yang as the daughter of Lord Thunder who was pit against them to destroy them both together so the prophecy about them can't be fulfilled.

Surprisingly, eleven years later, both actors still in good shape and almost as good looking as they were in the past return in yet another adventure, a sequel that took so long to come out. Now they are known as the Storm Warriors. The Pang Brothers got the rights from Golden Harvest and directed yet another well done film. So far, it manages to keep it fresh even for old cast members making a major return after so long. I even think the second movie is better as it focuses on Ekin Cheng's prodigal state and return to the light towards the end.
