RELEASE DATE: December 16, 2024
On December 16, 2024, 88 Films is releasing a Deluxe Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray for Lo Wei’s Dragon Fist, a 1978 kung fu classic starring Jackie Chan (Ride On) and Nora Miao (The Skyhawk).
Director Lo Wei (The Big Boss) and martial arts legend Jackie Chan are back together in a kung-fu saturated story of revenge and justice. Tong Huo-wan (Chan) is on the hunt for retribution for the death of his mentor whilst also balancing out the power between locals and violent gangsters as well as dealing with the devastating news that his master’s family are joining a rival school! Chan is on red-hot form here, as a seemingly indestructible man determined to right all wrongs, even if that means going against his teachings.
The film also stars James Tien (Fist of Fury), Pearl Lin Yin Zhu (The Deadly Kick), Yen Shi Kwan (Dance of the Drunken Mantis), Ko Keung (Tiger of Northland) and Hsu Hsia (When Taekwondo Strikes).
Details for this release are still pending, but we’ll be sure to fill you in as soon as we learn more.
This title will soon 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!
Don’t miss the film’s classic Trailer:
Easily the best of the Lo Wei directed movies but not the best Lo Wei production (that would be the stone cold classic Half a Loaf of Kungfu) , the story slowly builds to a climax where you expect Chan to go batsh1t crazy against his enemies like in Heart of Dragon, but instead of something intense we just get more JC old school choreography and a final fight that just goes on way too long
