The Miracle Fighters | Bu-ray (Eureka)

Now shipping from Goodie Emporium is Eureka’s Blu-ray (Region A/B) for The Miracle Fighters, a 1982 kung fu fantasy classic from the legendary choreographer/director Yuen Woo-ping (Dreadnaught, In the Line of Duty 4).

Hailed as one of the “weirdest” kung fu/fantasy movies to be distributed under the Golden Harvest banner – and certainly shouldn’t be confused or compared with Tsui Hark’s seminal masterpiece Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain (also 1982) – The Miracle Fighters is an octane fueled tale of despotism, ego-based ambition and insanely cerebral magical practices. Again using Yin/Yang metaphors, Ping’s physical depictions of Chinese occultism is clearly defined by both ‘light’ and ‘dark’ forces, regardless of its signature trappings or banal dialogue. Its true magical sturdiness lies in the picture’s motion and fluidity, not in the Continue reading →

To Kill with Intrigue | 4K Ultra HD (88 Films)

Now shipping from Goodie Emporium is 88 Films 4K Ultra HD for To Kill with Intrigue, a 1977 kung fu film directed by Lo Wei (Fist of Fury) that stars Jackie Chan (Ride On).

To Kill with Intrigue is undoubtedly one of the martial arts legend’s finest moments – with confident direction from the legendary Lo Wei, who had given Bruce Lee his break with The Big Boss in 1971!

Shot in South Korea, when the country was still a curious entity to the West Continue reading →
