Real‑World Brawls: Geping & Ng’s Uncompromising Fight in Deleted
When the buzz around Deleted hits the gong, two Singaporean stars are at the center of a high‑octane drama that’s born out of genuine physicality, not CGI wizardry.
Zero Safety Nets: The No‑Wire Philosophy
- “I hate fake fights.”—Zheng Geping (58) remarks, clutching an arm still swollen from a genuine kick under a bruised chest.
- “No stunt wires. No mock‑ups. Real punches, real kicks, real bruises.”—a mantra that shaped every frame of the film.
- Vincent Ng (46) brings the same grit, front‑lining a special police squad in the movie’s action‑laden weave.
Squad Spotlight: An Epic Cast
- Tien Hsin, the Taiwanese star, adds her sleek touch.
- Malaysian veterans Fattah Amin & Rosyam Nor lend world‑class weight.
- Boxer Brie Benfell and MMA fighter Peter Davis keep the stakes high.
From Script to Set: The Rush to Release
The film kicked off in 2019, hit post‑production milestones by 2020, yet had to wait two extra years—thanks to the pandemic’s push‑back.
Heartbeats and Hurdles
Geping’s adrenaline‑driven scenes left him with a battered arm and a scattering of bruises that were so swollen, he felt his own shock‑wave.
Vincent, on the other side, endured burns, bruises, and a shoulder spasm after a theatrical explosion.
“No stitches, no broken bones—just minor mishaps.”—Vincent assures in an interview, highlighting the sheer unpredictability of on‑set intensity.
Action, Action, My Dear… 70% of the Show
“I’ve shot a massive portion of the film as pure action.”—Vincent confirms. He hints that such glimpses keep the tension alive.
Authenticity Above All
Vincent shares, “Wire‑flying is acceptable for period pieces or sci‑fi dreams. In realistic action, authenticity wins the day.”
Safety First: The Watchdog Team
Behind the eye‑catching kicks and jolting explosions, a squad of action choreographers, paramedics, fire trucks, and traffic police was on standby, turning the chaotic set into a meticulously regulated arena.
Beyond the Punch‑“down: Speaking Out About Trafficking
Geping’s protagonist in Deleted navigates the criminal underworld to rescue his kidnapped daughter—a narrative that unearths the harrowing reality of human and organ trafficking, topics often overlooked in the region.
The film aims to spark a conversation: “Let’s stay vigilant. Let’s keep our eyes open for this rampant issue.”—Geping urges.
Vincent Ng’s Comeback
After a hiatus from Mediacorp since 2007, Vincent is back, ready to blaze new trails on the silver screen.
Release & Rating
Watch the cause for an adrenaline rabbit‑hole on 3 November in Singapore theatres. The film carries an NC16 rating.
For the relentless masters of the martial arts scene, Deleted promises a cinematic roller coaster that’s harder to comprehend than a rocket‑pie chase—but someday it would be clear just as how people fight against real-life dilemmas.
