Jointly presented by Juita Viden and Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), it is the first period kungfu comedy to be produced locally in Malaysia and Singapore, with famed action choreographer from Hong Kong, Yuk-Sing Ma, who have worked on Hong Kong and China's blockbusters, such as Storm Riders 2 and A Chinese Fairy Tale. The story took two years of research work and preparation. The production of the film took place earlier than Namewee's Nasi Lemak 2.0, but as Nasi Lemak 2.0 was released earlier, ''Petaling Street Warriors'' thus has become the second full-length movie Namewee would star in 2011. After viewing the film as it underwent post-production work in Hong Kong, numerous Hong Kong filmmakers call the film as the "watershed" and "milestone" in the history of Malaysian Chinese film industry. ''Petaling Street Warriors'' would be released in cinemas nationwide in Malaysia (1 December 2011) and Singapore (29 December 2011). Cinema chains that will be playing the film in Malaysia include GSC, TGV, Cathay, Big, LFS, MBO, Star, First World, Mega Prai and also Brunei Mall. In Singapore, the film will be shown via Shaw, Cathay, Eng Wah, Filmgarde Cineplex and Golden Village's circuits. Its gala premieres have been held at 9:30pm on 25 November 2011 at GSC Pavilion KL, Malaysia, and at 8:45pm on 19 December 2011 at Shaw Theatres LIDO, Singapore. Although its official showing date in Singapore is January 5, its sneak preview screenings has started since December 23. Since opening on 1 December, its first 4-day box office collection (MYR1.4 million) has surpassed that of Nasi Lemak 2.0 (MYR 1 million). It was also the highest-grossing Chinese film in the week it was first shown. The movie is also available in original and dubbed-in-Malay versions on Astro First between 12 January and 15 February 2012 ==Based on a controversial legend== The film is inspired by a controversial legend about the Jianwen Emperor of the Ming dynasty, who is rumored to have fled to Southeast Asia when he was dethroned in the year 1402 by his uncle, Zhu Di, who later became the Yongle Emperor. Some historians have even argued that the true purpose of the Voyages of Zheng He - which began three years after the Yongle Emperor ascended the throne - was not for the sake of trade or the promotion of national pride, but to seek out the Jianwen Emperor who was suspected to be hiding in the region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ming Emperor overseas? )〕 It is interesting to note that during the seven voyages, Zheng He's fleets had stopped in Malacca (now a Malaysian state) for five times. In fact, Malacca served as a transit centre for replenishment of supplies for his fleets. The sheer size of Zheng He's fleets is baffling. For example, the 1405 expedition consisted of 27,800 men and a fleet of 62 treasure ships supported by approximately 190 smaller ships. The subsequent voyages were of comparable size. If indeed Zheng He was leading his men in the greatest manhunt of all time, then the puzzling question is why the Yongle Emperor would want to pursue a dethroned emperor for over 28 years. These intriguing facts and speculations thus become the basis of the story of ''Petaling Street Warriors''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petaling Street Warriors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
