Legendary Mohammed Qissi's new role


San Pedro, California Mar 3, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - The highly anticipated action drama, "Killer Ex," has announced the official casting of Mohammed Qissi, one of the most iconic martial art villains in history. Qissi is best known for his memorable roles in Bloodsport, Lion Heart, and most notably, as the infamous villain Tong Po in the movie KickBoxer alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Qissi's impressive career spans over three decades, with notable appearances in numerous martial arts films. He also has worked as a stunt coordinator and fight choreographer on a variety of films. His talent and expertise make him a perfect fit for the action drama. 

Mohammed stated, "This movie means a lot to me as I'm excited to work with an amazing cast and director Jim Towns. The movie will also give me the opportunity to work with one of my good friends that has also been cast, as well. I believe his announcement will be later next month. I'm letting the fans know they will not be disappointed. Killer Ex is going to be a "killer" movie" 

In "Killer Ex," Qissi will play one of the main villains, adding his signature intensity and dynamic presence to the film. Fans of the genre will undoubtedly be thrilled to see Qissi return to the screen in a role that promises to be both electrifying and unforgettable.

Director Jim Towns said, "I am thrilled to have Mohammed Qissi on board for Killer Ex. He is a legendary figure in the martial arts world and brings an incredible amount of talent and experience to the production. I remember as a young guy training in karate, I'd rent martial arts films all the time. Movies like Kickboxer, Bloodsport, and Lionheart - those were such dynamic and stylish films, and Mohammed Qissi was always this presence in them- whether his character was good or bad, there was weight to it. Seriously, he was like the Omar Sharif of that subgenre. The fact that I get to now work with him decades later is really something special".

"Killer Ex" tells the story of a former assassin's comfortable family life being upended when his beautiful ex shows up out of nowhere-with a slew of killers after her. The film promises to be intense and action-packed, with Qissi's character adding a new layer of danger and excitement to the story.

Production for "Killer Ex" is set to begin filming in June of 2023, with a release date scheduled for 2024. Fans of martial arts films and action/dramas alike will not want to miss this highly anticipated film.

FEU zeroes in on quarterfinals bonus

MANILA, Philippines -- Far Eastern University drew closer to securing a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals after an emphatic sweep of College of Saint Benilde, 25-14, 25-9, 25-17, for a second straight Round of 8 win in the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.   Dictating the pace for most of the match, the Lady Tamaraws took a little over an hour for a quick disposal of the hapless Lady Blazers for a 2-0 win-loss record in Pool E. FEU can formally clinch one of the two quarters bonus in its group if five-peat-seeking National University (1-0) defeats Adamson University (0-1) in their duel still being played as of press time.    The Lady Tamaraws remained unscathed after five games overall in the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner, and R&B Milk Tea. Opposite spiker Ia David led FEU with 10 points while Gerz Petallo added seven markers in just two sets. Save for a brief spark of resistance from CSB early in the third set, the Lady Tamaraws breezed through the match with sustained energy. “Nag-start siya sa training and outside the court, na happy-happy lang kami as a team kasi knowing na ‘yung energy malaki talaga ang impact niya. 'Di kami pwedeng nakasimangot, tinanggal namin 'yung mga ganoon. Good vibes lang and good thing na-adopt namin sa loob ng court,” said David, who went 7-of-10 on attacks and added three kill blocks. Cla Loresco, Alyzza Devosora and Jaz Ellarina pumped in five points each while Karyll Miranda dished out 10 excellent sets to help FEU convert 41 attack points. “Nag-stick kami sa mindset namin na maging consistent. ‘Yung mindset na magtiwala sa mga kasama kasi kahit sino talaga kayang mag-contribute,” David added. After dominating the first two frames, the Lady Tamaraws trailed the Lady Blazers, 3-6, to start the third set. FEU rallied to regain control and used a 12-5 closing barrage to put the game away.       The Lady Tamaraws will take on NU on November 7 at the Playtime FilOil Centre in San Juan to wrap the second round and determine their placing in the crossover quarters of the competition, supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners.     CSB, which threw away 25 points on errors, absorbed a second straight defeat. Arriana Pua and Mary Grace Borromeo scored seven each while Mhonniecka Soliven finished with six markers for the Lady Blazers, who will face Adamson to close the round.   All games in the competition are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports.

Knicks get first win of the season with a 111-97 victory over the previously unbeaten Pistons

NEW YORK — Karl-Anthony Towns had 27 points and 20 rebounds, and the New York Knicks avoided what would have been the second 0-4 start by a defending champion in NBA history by beating the previously undefeated Detroit Pistons 111-97 on Tuesday night. Jalen Brunson shook free of his shooting struggles in a dominant third quarter that resembled the Knicks of last spring, not the team whose three losses in three games were as many as they had in 19 games during last season's run to the title. Brunson finished with 23 points and Mikal Bridges made his first four 3-pointers of the season and scored 12 in the Knicks' first victory since Game 5 of the NBA Finals. New York then fell to Philadelphia, Boston and Orlando, and another loss would have matched the 1969-70 Boston Celtics for the most to start a season after winning a title. But the Knicks blew open the game by outscoring the Pistons 37-13 in the third quarter to open a 25-point cushion against the team who handled them better than anyone else last season. Cade Cunningham had 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for the 3-1 Pistons. Detroit beat New York by scores of 121-90, 118-80 and 126-111 in 2025-26, and had won the last six meetings in the regular season. Paul Reed had 22 points and nine rebounds starting in place of injured center Jalen Duren for the Pistons, who were seeking their first 4-0 start since 2018-19. Brunson came in shooting 39% for the season and was 1 for 9 in the first half, but hit his first three shots and Bridges made a 3-pointer as part of an 11-0 opening to the third quarter to make it 62-50. Towns scored seven straight Knicks points later in the period, and a 12-2 surge to finish it made it 88-63 on Josh Hart's 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Wembanyama's 29 points and 10 rebounds fuels Spurs in 130-103 victory over Kings

SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama had 29 points and 10 rebounds and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings 130-103 on Tuesday night for their first home victory of the season. Julian Champagnie added 26 points on 8-for-13 3-point shooting as San Antonio evened its record at 2-2 after opening with disappointing home losses to Oklahoma City and Houston. Veteran center Domantas Sabonis scored 20 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists for winless Sacramento. De’Andre Hunter added 24 points and Zach LaVine had 22 points. The Spurs were 17 for 37 on 3-pointers, surpassing the 15 they made against the Dallas Mavericks on Oct. 24 in their only previous victory. Dylan Harper had 13 points, six rebounds and six assists for San Antonio. All five Spurs starters were in double figures in their highest offensive output of the season. San Antonio's offense started sluggishly in two previous home games, but rolled to season highs for points in any quarter and half with 39 points in the first period and 80 by halftime. The onslaught opened with an alley-oop slam by Wembanyama followed by a 3-pointer from Devin Vassell. Wembanyama had 15 points in the opening quarter, including four dunks while shooting 7 for 10 from the field. Vassell was 3 for 3 on 3-pointers in the opening five minutes and Champagnie was 8 for 10 on 3-pointers in the first half. Vassell finished 4 for 7 on 3-pointers. Wembanayama finished 14 for 21 from the field, and matched a career high with nine dunks.
