Eureka Entertainment to release BROKEN OATH, an action-packed tale of righteous vengeance starring Angela Mao. Presented in its worldwide debut on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration. Available from 21 October 2024 as part of the Eureka Classics range, the Limited edition release of 2000 copies (Inital Copies Only) will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector's booklet. A Hong Kong take on Japan's Lady Snowblood, Broken Oath is an action-packed tale of righteous vengeance directed by Jeong Chang-hwa (King Boxer) and starring the first lady of kung fu cinema: the inimitable Angela Mao! Orphaned and angry, Lotus (Mao) is raised by Buddhist nuns before she is exiled for her violent ways - and skipping classes to improve her martial arts skills. Finding herself alone in the world, she quickly comes to discover the truth of her past: that her father was once a respected member of the Imperial Court who was murdered in cold blood, and that her mother gave birth to her in a jail cell after being unjustly imprisoned for killing one of the culprits. With revenge on her mind and a newfound accomplice in tow (Bruce Leung, Magnificent Bodyguards), she sets out to track down the men responsible for tearing her family apart - armed with both her considerable martial arts prowess and a nest of scorpions with which to poison her enemies. Made at the height of her fame following roles in Hapkido, Lady Whirlwind, Enter the Dragon and When Taekwondo Strikes, Broken Oath is one of Angela Mao's very best films - and boasts action choreography orchestrated by Hsia Hsu (Drunken Master) and Yuen Woo-ping, one of the most respected stunt coordinators in both Hong Kong (The Magnificent Butcher) and Hollywood (The Matrix). Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world from a brand new 2K restoration.Limited edition O-card slipcase featuring new artwork by Grégory Sacré (Gokaiju) | 1080p HD presentation on Blu-ray of the uncut theatrical version from a brand new 2K restoration | Original Mandarin audio and optional English dub tracks (original mono presentations) | Optional English subtitles, newly translated for this release | Brand new audio commentary by East Asian film expert Frank Djeng (NY Asian Film Festival) | Brand new audio commentary by action cinema experts Mike Leeder and Arne Venema | Brand new interview with actor Bruce Leung (The Dragon Lives Again) | Patrick Macias on Lady Snowblood - new appreciation by film writer Patrick Macias | Trailer | PLUS: A Limited edition collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Kung Fu Cult Masters author Leon Hunt

He was the greatest master of unarmed combat the world has ever seen. How could the self proclaimed world's fittest man die so suddenly at the very height of his career? Could foul play have been involved or even murder? Death By Misadventure goes in depth behind the scenes as we unfold the greatest mystery of the martial arts movie world. It also highlights a profile of Bruce Lee's legacy Brandon Lee which charts the rising star's emergence as a major force in action cinema of the 90's until his tragic and untimely death in March 1993.
North Sung Dynasty Liao soldiers invaded China. The traitor Pan-Ren-Mei urged the king to lead armies but was trapped by Liao soldiers. Yang and his family went to the rescue and attempted to get peace at Golden Beach for security. Bruce Leung (Kung Fu Hustle Hapkido) stars as a Sung dynasty general that hides (and trains) in a Buddhist temple to escape and get even with the evil barbarians who killed his family. Pretty solid late 1970s/early 1980s production with expected elements martial arts fans should appreciate (monks training). Leung choreographed the action and it's good. Shaolin-based weapons (spear and staff). He doesn't do much empty hand but as always tosses in some nice kicks.
