Blu-ray release: ‘Cinematic Vengeance!’

By   |  Aug 9, 2021

Eureka Entertainment are bringing ‘Cinematic Vengeance! 8 Kung Fu Classics From Director Joseph Kuo’ to UK Blu-ray on November 15, 2021.

The set is made up of 8 films directed by Joseph Kuo – ‘The 7 Grandmasters’, ‘The 36 Deadly Styles’, ‘The World of Drunken Master’, ‘The Old Master’, ‘Shaolin Kung Fu’, ‘The Shaolin Kids’, ‘The 18 Bronzemen’, and ‘Return of the 18 Bronzemen’.

Synopsis: Although his name may not be as instantly recognisable as some of his contemporaries, Joseph Kuo was an incredibly successful filmmaker who consistently produced crowd-pleasing spectacles always in line with what audiences at the time wanted to see. Often handling writing, directing, and producing duties, the success of this multi-hyphenate filmmaker is even more remarkable considering that the majority of his films were produced independently, at a time when the kung-fu genre was dominated by the big Hong Kong studios. ‘Cinematic Vengeance!’ collects eight of these independent productions, all fully restored and making their worldwide debuts on Blu-ray.

Features:
• 8 Films across four Blu-ray discs, all fully restored and presented in 1080p HD
• Original Mandarin audio tracks
• Optional English dubbed audio
• Alternate Cantonese audio tracks for ‘The 7 Grandmasters’, ‘The World of Drunken Master’, and ‘The Old Master’
• Newly translated English subtitles
• New audio commentaries on ‘The 7 Grandmasters’ and ‘The World of Drunken Master’ with Frank Djeng and Michael Worth
• New audio commentaries on ‘The 36 Deadly Styles’ and ‘The Old Master’ with Mike Leeder and Arne Venema
• New audio commentaries on ‘Shaolin Kung Fu’ and ‘The Shaolin Kids’ with Mike Leeder and Arne Venema
• New audio commentaries on ’18 Bronzemen’ and ‘Return of the 18 Bronzemen’ with Frank Djeng and John Charles
• 18 Bronzemen: The Hong Kong Version – a reconstruction of the original theatrical release version
• Limited edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork by Darren Wheeling
• Limited Edition 60 page booklet featuring new writing by James Oliver
