Magnificent Warriors | Blu-ray (Eureka)

RELEASE DATE: February 20, 2023

On February 20, 2023, Eureka will be releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for Magnificent Warriors, a 1987 Hong Kong actioner directed by David Chung Chi-Man (Royal Warriors).

Following on from the success of Royal Warriors, David Chung and Michelle Yeoh teamed up again courtesy of D & B Films for this much beloved kung-fu actioner inspired by the success of the Indiana Jones franchise.

Michelle Yeoh stars as a daring secret agent during the Second Sino-Japanese War, who intervenes in characteristically explosive fashion to defend a remote mountain town from occupying Japanese forces. One of Michelle Yeoh’s most popular titles and featuring some of her most memorable action sequences, Magnificent Warriors also stars Richard Ng, Shaw Brothers veteran Derek Yee, and Lowell Lo. Fully restored in 2K, and with the film’s original theatrical ending – Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.

The film also stars Tetsuya Matsui (Lucky Stars Go Places), Hwang Jang Lee (Challenge of the Tiger), Chang Yi (The One-Armed Sowrdsman), Lo Meng (Human Lanterns) and Ku Feng (Bruce and the Iron Finger).
