What happens

Dragon (武侠) is a 2011 martial arts film directed by Peter Chan, starring Donnie Yen, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tang Wei. In this Hong Kong-Chinese co-production, Yen also served as the film's action director. It premiered on 13 May 2011 at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in the Midnight Screenings category. Donnie Yen and Peter Chan presided over the lighting of a 3591-square-metre billboard for Dragon that broke the record in the Guinness Book of World Records for its size, a record previously held by a poster for a Michael Jackson album.
