On October 18, 2021, Eureka is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for Ringo Lam’s 1997 Hong Kong action classic, Full Alert (read our review), starring Lau Ching-Wan (A Hero Never Dies) and Francis Ng Chun-yu (The Mission).
Read the full details below:
A late career highlight from Ringo Lam, an action-packed tale of cops and robbers presented in the director’s inimitable style.
Perfectionist, workaholic Inspector Pao (Lau Ching-wan, Shock Wave 2) finds himself up against Mak Kwan (Francis Ng), a seasoned criminal intending to use his explosive skills to pull off a huge heist. Pao must use his own resources to stop Mak and prevent heavy civilian casualties.
With heartstopping car chasrs on the streets of Hong Kong and brilliant performances by the two leads, Full Alert is an intelligent, high velocity action movie considered to be one of director Ringo Lam’s finest works.
