U.S. seller Goodie Emporium is now shipping 88 Films’ Blu-ray (Region B) for Stephen Shin’s Black Cat, a 1991 Hong Kong film starring Jade Leung (Satin Steel) and Simon Yam (Final Run).
Not to be confused with the various retellings of Poe’s famous tale, Black Cat is a high-octane Hong Kong action thriller that provides a hugely entertaining pre-curser to the likes of Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) and south Korean cult classic, The Villainess (2017).
When Catherine (Jade Leung), a mentally disturbed young woman, is detained by the police after accidentally killing a truck driver, she finds herself part of a covert training system. Programmed as an assassin, having learned a host of new deadly skills, she becomes a lethal government weapon, codenamed Black Cat.
