Pedicab Driver | 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray (Arrow)

Arriving on December 13, 2026 from Arrow Video is the 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray for Pedicab Driver, a 1989 Hong Kong Golden Harvest classic directed by and starring Sammo Hung (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Eastern Condors). Secure your copy today at Goodie Emporium!

An outlandish mix of slapstick, romance, drama and high-voltage kung fu from legendary martial arts filmmaker Sammo Hung (The Prodigal Son). Pay the fare and take the ride in Pedicab Driver!

Lo Tung (Hung) and his friend Malted Candy (Max Mok, Once Upon a Time in China II–V) are lowly pedicab drivers looking for love in old Macau, where life is hard and one brawl leads to another. But when they each meet their perfect love match, their romantic dreams hit a wall of harsh reality as both women work for cruel and abusive bosses. Now Lo and Malted Candy must figure out how to win their ladies’ hearts while helping them escape the chains of societal slavery.

Producer/director/star Sammo Hung is joined by a colourful ensemble cast that includes Lau Kar-leung (Drunken master II), Nina Li Chi (The Gambling Ghost), Billy Chow (The Blonde Fury), Lam Ching-ying (Mr. Vampire), Corey Yuen (Dance of the Drunken Mantis), Dick Wei (Final Run), Mang Hoi (Legacy of Rage), Billy Lau (Police Story Part II), John Shum (Guns of Dragon) and Eric Tsang (Crazy Couple), serving up a thick slice of expertly choreographed chaos that will simultaneously break your heart and split your sides in laughter in this long overdue 4K restoration.

Of course, expect nothing less than peak stuntwork and choreography from Sammo Hung and his legendary Hong Kong stunt team.

🔥 Footnote: Warner Bros. has never made licensing titles from its Golden Harvest library particularly easy (they still own over a hundred titles), but that seems to be changing. This news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, especially in the wake of Arrow’s recent Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits 10-disc collection, which managed to secure several notoriously difficult-to-license Jackie Chan films from the ’90s. That being said, Hong Kong physical media collectors have a lot to look forward to!

This title is available for pre-order 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!
