In 2025 audiences were hit with the double whammy of the John Wick spin-off Ballerina, and the massively popular Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters, so it was perhaps only a matter of time before someone thought to combine the 2 and create a ballet dancing demon hunter. That someone comes in the form of Yugoslavia born filmmaker Attila Korosi, who’s created the U.S. and South Korean co-production Demon Dancer: Sua/Nara as a self-proclaimed “love letter to anime.” Indeed the quote “No matter how many people you lose, you have no choice but to go on living.” is the first thing we see onscreen, credited as an ‘Anime Proverb’ (even though it’s actually taken from a character in the popular Demon Slayer anime series).

While Ballerina and KPop Demon Hunters had the backing of a major studio and streaming giant respectively, Demon Dancer: Sua/Nara doesn’t have the luxury of either, instead being an ambitious low budget indie production. The budget limitations are evident to see onscreen, and in a world which has gotten used to streaming gloss and seamless greenscreen work, for some audiences the gap may be a jarring one. However Korosi wisely kicks things off with Continue reading

On August 11, 2026, Visual Vengeance is releasing the Blu-ray (Region A) for 1987’s Cyclops. Emerging from Japan’s late-’80s direct-to-video boom, Cyclops stands as an early, unhinged entry in the country’s underground splatter movement.

Hard Redemption (2026) Review

"Hard Redemption" Poster

“Hard Redemption” Poster

Director: Jino Kang
Co-director: Christine Lam
Cast: Jino Kang, Lou Ferrigno, David Kurzhal, Jessie Pettit, James Aaron Oh, Mikaila Maei
Running Time: 88 min.

By Z Ravas

It’s ‘Die Hard in a school’ starring Jino Kang! You know Jino Kang…right? The writer/director/star of such Direct to Video martial arts efforts as Fist 2 Fist and Fist 2 Fist 2: Weapon of Choice? …no?

Well, that’s okay, Hard Redemption also offers a special appearance by Lou Ferrigno. And if you don’t know Lou Ferrigno, I suggest you make like the kids in this movie and get your ass to class…’cause you need some schooling!

In all honesty, I’m not terribly familiar with Jino Kang either, which is why I wanted to make the time for Hard Redemption: I’m always curious about action stars who make the leap to writing and directing their own material, and the fact that former TV “Hulk” Lou Ferrigno was along for the ride for this one only sweetened the deal. As mentioned, this movie offers Continue reading

Enter the Fat Dragon | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)

Enter the Fat Dragon | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)

Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for Enter the Fat Dragon (read our review), the latest from martial arts star Donnie Yen (Ip Man 4, Big Brother14 Blades).

The Chasing the Dragon team is back! Only this time, producer Wong Jing (Mission Milano) and Donnie Yen are chasing a dragon that’s about 100 pounds heavier in Enter the Fat Dragon.

In the film, directed by both Wong Jing (City Hunter) and Kenji Tanigaki (The Furious), Yen plays a cop escorting a convict to Japan. With that said, it’s not a remake of the 1978 Sammo Hung classic of the same name, it just happens to share its title, which is a parody (by title only) of Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon.
