RELEASE DATE: May 13, 2025
On May 13, 2025, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region A/B) for Magnificent Bodyguards, a 1978 kung fu classic directed by Lo Wei (The Big Boss) that stars Jackie Chan (Hidden Strike, Ride On).
Jackie leaps out of the screen in Magnificent Bodyguards, the first Hong Kong movie shot in 3D! The icon joins a team of guards who are escorting an ill man across a land filled danger and possible death, a land known as Stormy Hills, but does the man hold a deadly secret?
Directed by Wei Lo, the person who gave the world the Bruce Lee classics The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, this is prime mandarin madness with a score which will be familiar to lovers of a certain successful sci-fi saga.
The film also stars James Tien (Seaman No. 7), Bruce Leung (Bruce and the Iron Finger), Wong Ping (The Big Boss Part II).

- A set of Anaglyph 3D Glasses (Red and Blue) will be included!

- 2 Disc Set including Real-D 3D, Anaglyph 3D and 2D viewing Options.

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 â with New titles being added regularly!
More details for this release should be announced soon! Until then, watch 88 Films’ Trailer below, followed by screen shots from 88 Films’ upcoming release!
It looks interesting.
Hopefully Fortune Star gives 88 films a decent remaster to work with because all versions on bluray to date have looked like an upscaled vcd
