88 Films are bringing the 1990 Hong Kong fantasy actioner ‘Saga of the Phoenix’ (阿修羅) to US and UK Blu-ray on December 15/16, 2025.

Directed by Lam Nai-Choi and Lau Sze-Yu, the film is a sequel to 1989’s ‘Peacock King’ that finds the two monks charged with protecting the “Holy Maiden of Hell” after she is granted 7 days to enjoy the human world. The cast includes Yuen Biao, Gloria Yip, Rachel Lee, Shintaro Katsu, Hiroshi Abe, and Yuko Natori.

Synopsis: When an ancient evil stirs once more, monks Peacock (Yuen Biao) and Lucky Fruit (Hiroshi Mikami) are called back into action to confront a new supernatural threat. This time their quest draws them to Hong Kong, where they must protect the innocent and face an unholy alliance of demons and dark sorcery.
