The official export title is The Sword of Alexander. There will be promo clips shown at Berlin's EFM (which starts today, Feb. 8)
Tsutsumi had this to say: "I wanted to create a period film version of Kung Fu Hustle, loaded with wire stunt action scenes, swordfights, monsters, phantoms and aliens -- things which I liked and dreamed about as a child."
