Today’s Deal on Fire is Arrow’s 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition for 1990’s Bullet in the Head. After re-inventing the action film with The Killer, John Woo would turn inward and deliver the semi-autobiographical Bullet in the Head, complementing the stylistic flourishes that made his name with an unflinching and nihilistic brutality to deliver one of the most intense war films of all time.
Set during the Vietnam war, the film follows B, Fai and Wing (iconic actors Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Jacky Cheung and Waise Lee), three best friends fleeing from Hong Kong to seek their fortune as smugglers. In Saigon, they join forces with fellow expat Continue reading
“The Sin” Poster
There are two extremes when it comes to directorial debuts in Korea – on the one end you’ve got the gritty social dramas, tending to focus on those dwelling on the bottom rungs of societies ladder and the struggles of their every day lives. On the other, you’ve got an almost avant garde approach that could best be described as go hard or go home, in which first time filmmakers go for broke in bringing their most creatively ambitious ideas to the screen like they’d never have a chance to make a sophomore feature. Of course, sometimes that turns out to be exactly the case. We’ve never heard from director Lee Sa-rang again after 2017’s wildly chaotic debut Real, nor from Jude Chun after 2022’s Unidentified, however a part of me still hopes that we do. The same applies for Han Dong-seok, who in 2024 made his debut with The Sin.
Best described as a Korean take on the arthouse genre, proceedings open in a suitably meta manner with a director, played by Park Ji-hoon (The Boys, Gentleman), looking to cast a dancer as the lead for his new movie, of which details like story and characters are scarce, except for the fact that it’ll be “experimental”. A budding dancer, played by Kim Yoon-hye (The Advocate: A Missing Body, Ghost Sweepers), is successful in auditioning for the role, and despite the lack of detail over the kind of movie she’s Continue reading

“Legend of the White Dragon” Poster
On August 28, 2026, audiences will be seeing Jason David Frank’s final performance in Well Go USA’s Legend of the White Dragon. The late martial arts actor is best known for playing Tommy Oliver in the popular Power Rangers franchise.
This highly anticipated fantasy-action movie – something of an unofficial follow-up to the Power Rangers franchise – comes from filmmakers Aaron Schoenke and Sean Schoenke (Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe).
Legend of the White Dragon follows follows Erik Reed (Frank), a former hero forced into hiding after a devastating battle destroys part of his city and exposes his identity. Once celebrated as the White Dragon, Erik is now blamed for the destruction and cut off from the life and family he left behind. As corruption spreads through Virtuo City, Erik is drawn back into saving a world that no longer trusts Continue reading

“Hope” Poster
After a 10-year hiatus, critically acclaimed director Na Hong-Jin returns to the director’s chair with Hope, an upcoming sci-fi thriller heading to U.S. theaters on September 9th from Neon.
If you’re not familiar with Na Hong-Jin, maybe you’re familiar with his work. In 2008, the South Korean filmmaker shook the world with his debut feature film, The Chaser. In 2010, he showed us that he wasn’t a one-hit wonder with The Yellow Sea. Then in 2016 came The Wailing, where Na proved his cinematic prowess while tackling the occult subgenre.
The Wailing was the last full length feature we saw from the director, with only brief reminders of his work since. He later produced and co wrote the 2021 Thai horror film The Medium, and released the short film Faith, which also served as Continue reading

“Enju” Poster
Actress and former model Alice Hirose (Silent Tokyo), best known for her work in Japan’s mainstream dramas and lighthearted films, steps into a much grittier role as the lead of the upcoming actioner, Enju.
Directed by Shigeaki Kubo (High & Low franchise), Enju is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ryohei Tsukimura (Flower of the Desert).
The story follows a group of armed terrorists who take over a remote campsite, holding a group of students hostage. What they don’t realize is that the students’ quiet assistant teacher (Hirose) is secretly a deadly assassin. When her kids’ lives are threatened, she drops her polite facade and takes on the entire group by herself.
🔥 Footnote: Martial arts Continue reading
