88 Films are bringing the 1989 Hong Kong martial arts fantasy film ‘The Iceman Cometh‘ (急凍奇俠) to UK Blu-ray on November 14, 2022.
Directed by Clarence Fok, the film revolves around a frozen Ming Dynasty royal guard and an equally frigid rapist-killer he is tracking who find themselves thawed out in modern-day Hong Kong. The cast includes Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Maggie Cheung, Frankie Ng, and Elvis Tsui.
Synopsis: When 16th-century Ming guard Fong Sau-ching (Yuen Baio) sets out to capture vicious rapist Feng San (Yuen Wah) both men end up falling into a glacier to be frozen in time.
