On September 28, 2026, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for The Octagon, a 1980 actioner directed by Eric Karson (Black Eagle, Angel Town) and starring martial arts legend, Chuck Norris (Slaughter in San Francisco, Code of Silence, Way of the Dragon).
Ninjas were supposed to have died out three hundred years ago. So who are those guys trying to kill Scott James?
Someone’s training ninjas to use as terrorist-mercenaries and ex-martial arts champ Scott – played by none other than Chuck Norris – thinks he knows who it is. But can he find them and stop them before their evil plan comes to fruition? Of course he can: he’s Chuck Norris.
The Octagon is one of the first films to showcase the charisma and roundhouse kicks that helped Big Chuck dominate the video stores back in the day, and it still looks mighty fine.
The Octagon also stars Lee Van Cleef (For a Few Dollars More), Karen Carlson (In the Heat of the Night), Art Hindle (Speed Zone), Tadashi Yamashita (Soul of Chiba), Richard Norton (Mission Terminate), Kim Lankford (Malibu Beach), and Larry D. Mann (The Sting).
Details for this release are still pending.
This title will be available at The Goodie Emporium, a U.S.-based online store that currently has many Import Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest/martial arts DVD/Blu-ray movies in-stock – with New titles being added regularly!
