Perfect storm

In a press conference, the directors expressed their relief at finally finishing the movie.

"Although filming only took four-and-a-half months, the whole process (of making this movie) took us almost three years. The special effects alone took us more than a year to complete," said Oxide, the elder of the Hong Kong-born twin brothers, who are based in Thailand.

Ultimately, both brothers admitted that it would be hard to appease both the casual moviegoers and the comic book fans at the same time.
