Eureka! has announced its March 2025 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up is a collection of crime thrillers featuring the infamous master criminal, Dr Mabuse; an action-packed slice of martial arts mayhem starring James Tien; and two of the celebrated Venom Mob’s finest from the ‘Godfather of Hong Kong Cinema’.

Fritz Lang made two of the defining works of early German cinema with Dr Mabuse the Gambler and The Testament of Dr Mabuse, two masterpieces centred on Norbert Jacques’ nefarious literary supervillain. In 1960, Lang was charged by Artur Brauner’s CCC Film with making a third crime thriller centred on the infamous Dr Mabuse, completing a trilogy nearly forty years in the making. A huge success, The Thousand Eyes of Dr Mabuse gave CCC the confidence to launch into an entire series focused on the master criminal between 1960 and 1964, all starring Wolfgang Priess in the title role. All six films (The Thousand Eyes of Dr Mabuse, The Return of Dr Mabuse, The Invisible Dr Mabuse,The Testament of Dr Mabuse, Scotland Yard Hunts Dr Mabuse, The Death Ray of Dr Mabuse) are presented here alongside a wealth of new and archival extras. Directed by Fritz Lang, Harald Reinl (The Fellowship of the Frog), Werner Klingler (Police Raid), Paul May (Duel with Death) and Hugo Fregonese (Black Tuesday), the CCC Mabuse series continues Fritz Lang’s legacy while playing into a popular market taste in Germany for adaptations of literary krimis – or crime thrillers – that can also be seen in the enormous popularity of films based upon Edgar Wallace’s novels throughout the 1960s. The Masters of Cinema series is honoured to collect all six of the 1960s Mabuse films together in this set entitled Mabuse lives! Dr Mabuse at CC: 1960–1964, presented in high definition from 2K restorations and available on Blu-ray from 31 March 2025 in the UK and from 1 April 2025 in North America.Released in a Limited edition Boxed set of 2000 copies (per territory) exclusively featuring a hardbound slipcase and collector’s book.

During his long and industrious career, the “Godfather of Hong Kong Cinema” Chang Cheh made several films with the celebrated “Venom Mob,” a group of skilled martial arts performers – including Lu Feng, Chiang Sheng, Philip Kwok, Sun Chien, Lo Mang, and Wai Pak – who rose to fame as the stars of his own Five Deadly Venoms. Here, Eureka Classics presents two of the Venom Mob’s best: The Daredevils and Ode to Gallantry. After forming in 1978 for Five Deadly Venoms, the Venom Mob made over a dozen films with Chang Cheh that featured at least three of their number in starring roles. Filled with thrilling action set-pieces courtesy of some of the most talented martial artists to emerge in the 1970s, The Daredevils and Ode to Gallantry are two of the finest among them. Eureka Classics is proud to present this duo of collaborations between Chang Cheh and the Venom Mob on Blu-ray for the first time in both the UK and North America from 24 March and 25 March 2025 respectively. Released as part of the Eureka Classics range in a Limited edition of 2000 copies (per territory) exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

Directed by Ta Huang (Chinese Hercules) and released at the height of the 1970s kung fu craze, Shaolin Boxers offers a rare leading role to James Tien – who more often played supporting roles in films such as Fist of Fury, The Iron-Fisted Monk and The Magnificent Bodyguards – in an action-packed narrative that charges him with rescuing innocents from forces of corruption and evil. Released at a time when audiences all over the world clamoured for kung fu cinema in the aftermath of Bruce Lee’s breakout films The Big Boss, Fist of Fury and – above all – Enter the Dragon, Shaolin Boxers is a slice of martial arts mayhem that draws upon all the most enduring elements of the Hong Kong action film. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from a new 2K restoration. Available on Blu-ray from 24 March 2025 in a Limited edition of 2000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

We will have a dedicated site for our North American titles in due course, but in the meantime these titles will be available from all good home entertainment retailers including the following online outlets:

Eureka! has announced its February 2025 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up is an outrageous horror-comedy on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK; an epic adventure that blends fantasy with historical drama; and a collection of features and shorts from one of the most important figures in the history of cinema.

An undisputed master of melodrama, director Douglas Sirk is best known for the lavish, sweeping romances he made during the last decade of his career, including Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind and Imitation of Life. But by the time Sirk – born Hans Detlef Sierck – arrived in Hollywood, he had already made several films in his native Germany. The Masters of Cinema series is honoured to present this collection of Sirk’s earliest films, all of which established a blueprint for his later work: April, April!, The Girl from Marsh Croft (Das Mädchen vom Moorhof) and Pillars of Society (Stützen der Gesellschaft). Presented alongside Sirk’s shorts Two Greyhounds (Zwei Windhunde), Three Times Before (3 x Ehe) and The Imaginary Invalid (Der eingebildete Kranke), these three features – all released in 1935 – showcase the burgeoning talents of a filmmaker who would go on to become one of the most important figures in the history of Hollywood cinema. Sirk’s early works are presented here on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from brand-new restorations by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation. Available from 24 February 2025 in a Limited edition two-disc Blu-ray set of 2000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

A Japanese box-office sensation directed by the revered Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale), Legend of the Eight Samurai brings together an impressive ensemble cast, including Hiroko Yakushimaru (Sailor Suit and Machine Gun), Hiroyuki Sanada (Ring), Sonny Chiba (Message from Space) and Etsuko Shihomi (The Street Fighter), in a sweeping epic that blends fantasy with historical drama. Following Message from Space, which transported the story to a science fiction setting, Legend of the Eight Samurai is Fukasaku’s second loose adaptation of Toshio Kamata’s Shin Satomi Hakkenden, itself an adaptation of Kyokutei Bakin’s earlier epic novel Nanso Satomi Hakkenden. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray outside of Japan from a new 4K restoration. Available on Blu-ray from 17 February 2025 in the UK, and from 18 February 2025 in North America. Released in a Limited edition of 2000 copies (per territory) exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

While Hong Kong horror cinema is more often associated with the jiangshi or “hopping vampires” of Chinese legend, it has also embraced (and, more often than not, lampooned) the Western vampire tradition. One of the more outrageous films to bring European bloodsuckers to Hong Kong is Jamie Luk’s Doctor Vampire – a perfect blend of horror and comedy with shades of Vamp, Fright Night and, of course, Hong Kong’s own Mr Vampire series. Offering a variation on the jiangshi craze kick-started by Encounter of the Spooky Kind and Mr Vampire, Doctor Vampire is one of a handful of films – along with Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires and Vampire vs Vampire – to bring Hollywood’s creatures of the night to Hong Kong. Eureka Classics is proud to present this ghoulish horror-comedy on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from a brand-new 2K restoration. Released in a Limited edition of 2000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

Eureka! has announced its January 2025 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up is an offbeat murder-mystery helmed by acclaimed directors Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai; and a mesmerising and hypnotic psychological thriller from Kiyoshi Kurosawa comes to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.

Running on Karma is a crime thriller with a distinctly Buddhist flare starring a titan of Hong Kong cinema in Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs). A film that balances genre thrills with deep philosophical questions on the nature of spirituality and faith, Running on Karma stands with Mad Detective as one of the most interesting and unique collaborations between Johnnie To (Running Out of Time) and Wai Ka-fai (Peace Hotel). The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time outside of Asia. Available from 27 January 2025 in the UK, and from 28 January 2025 in North America. Running on Karma will be released in a Limited edition of 2000 copies (per territory) exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase.

A landmark in the history of Japanese cinema, Cure was the breakthrough film for director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who would go on to make several further modern masterpieces in Pulse, Creepy and Tokyo Sonata. Released to critical acclaim in both the East and the West, this nerve-shredding thriller charts the hunt for a depraved serial killer in a bleak and decaying Tokyo. Described as one of the greatest films of all time by Bong Joon-ho, the filmmaker behind Memories of Murder, The Host, Snowpiercer and Parasite, Cure is a cerebral and deeply unsettling hybrid of police procedural, serial killer film and horror movie to stand with The Silence of the Lambs and Seven. Having given the film its UK Blu-ray premiere in 2018, the Masters of Cinema series is now proud to present the film on 4K UHD. Available from 27 January 2025, in a Limited edition of 2000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase.

Eureka! has announced its December 2024 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up is a heartwarming and beautifully crafted cartoon fantasy from the legendary animator Don Bluth, and four historical epics from one of the most celebrated and prolific filmmakers in Hong Kong. Plus, our friends in North America will also be treated to a re-issue of The Cat & the Canary in a standard edition.

In 1979, legendary animator Don Bluth made the decision to leave Walt Disney Productions and establish his own animation studio with several former Disney employees. The newly established Don Bluth Productions first made a short – Banjo the Woodpile Cat – and then its first feature: The Secret of NIMH, adapted from Robert C. O’Brien’s popular children’s book Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. A sweeping fantasy epic realised through astoundingly beautiful cel animation, The Secret of NIMH paved the way for Bluth’s later successes An American Tail, The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go to Heaven. The Masters of Cinema series is honoured to present this touchstone of American animation on Blu-ray. Available on Blu-ray from 9 December 2024 in a Limited-edition of 2000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase.

Often described as the “Godfather of Hong Kong Cinema,” Chang Cheh made nearly a hundred films during a long and storied career spent at the Shaw Brothers Studio, where he directed such landmark films as The One-Armed Swordsman, Five Deadly Venoms and The Heroic Ones. Many of his films drew upon Chinese history for inspiration – and many of them were based on real people and events. Eureka Classics presents four of his best historical epics in this limited-edition set. Marco Polo, The Pirate, Boxer Rebellion and Four Riders are all fascinating examples of the rewriting of history common in popular genre cinema, directed with aplomb by a veteran of Shaw Brothers in Chang Cheh – one of the most celebrated and prolific filmmakers in Hong Kong. All four films are presented on Blu-ray from HD masters supplied by Celestial Pictures. Available from 9 December 2024 in the UK, and from 10 December 2024 in North America. The Limited edition set (2000 copies per territory) will exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

Paul Leni (The Man Who Laughs) directs one of the most important and influential films in the early history of American genre cinema, which perfected the ‘old dark house’ formula and set the stage for the Universal horror cycle of the 1930s. Based upon the 1922 stage production by John Willard, The Cat and the Canary is a perfect blend of horror and black comedy and stands at the apex of a cycle of films adapted from mystery plays throughout the 1920s. It later inspired James Whale’s The Old Dark House and has been remade several times – but never bettered. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this cornerstone of horror cinema on Blu-ray from a glorious 4K restoration. Now presented on Blu-ray in a standard edition. Available from 10 December 2024 in North America only.

Eureka! has announced its November 2024 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up is a gritty crime drama starring Edward G. Robinson; an edge-of-the-seat shipboard thriller featuring an all-star ensemble cast; a dazzling take on the classic wuxia adventure; and three undercover classics from Shaw Brothers.

Written by Sydney Boehm (The Big Heat) and directed by Hugo Fregonese (Man in the Attic), Black Tuesday is an explosive crime drama starring one of Hollywood’s most beloved tough guys: Edward G. Robinson, the star of Little Caesar, The Last Gangster, I Am the Law and Key Largo. While the Hollywood gangster movie was at the height of its success in the early 1930s, it resurged in the 1940s and into the next decade as crime pictures found a new popularity in the post-war period. Standing tall alongside Key Largo, White Heat and Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, Black Tuesday is one of the finest gangster films to emerge from this later cycle – as old-fashioned wiseguys met with film noir sensibilities. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this key crime picture of the 1950s on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from an astonishing new restoration. Available from 18 November 2024 in the UK. The Limited edition release of 2000 copies will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase.

Featuring an all-star ensemble cast in Richard Harris (The Guns of Navarone), Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs), Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia), Ian Holm (Chariots of Fire), David Hemmings(The Charge of the Light Brigade) and Shirley Knight (The Counterfeit Killer), Juggernaut is an unrelentingly tense suspense thriller directed by Richard Lester (A Hard Day’s Night). Inspired by a real-life bomb threat against the Queen Elizabeth 2 on 17 May 1972 and drawing on a popular taste in the 1970s for taut crime thrillers and disaster movies, Juggernaut is one of the most entertaining and suspenseful British films of the decade. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from a high-definition restoration. Available from 18 November 2024 in the UK, the Limited edition release of 2000 copies will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

Best known as a key contributor to the Hong Kong New Wave as the director of My Heart is That Eternal Rose and the editor of Wong Kar-wai’s Days of Being Wild and Ashes of Time, Patrick Tam began his filmmaking career with The Sword: a love letter to the wuxia genre starring Adam Cheng (Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain). After a period of dormancy, wuxia films resurged in the 1980s as the likes of Duel to the Death, Bastard Swordsman and Tsui Hark’s Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain rejected the realist approach adopted by kung fu cinema in the previous decade. Eureka Classics is proud to present Patrick Tam’s The Sword – one of the earliest and best pictures to emerge from this wuxia revival – on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration. Available from 18 November 2024 in the UK, and from 19 November in North America. The Limited edition release of 2000 copies (per territory) will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

Following the enormous international success of Dr No and From Russia with Love, Bondmania swept the globe and initiated a cycle of Bondsploitation movies. Studios all over the world sought to capitalise on James Bond and the concept of the super-spy – including Hong Kong’s venerable Shaw Brothers, who began producing tales of intrigue, espionage, and grand theft in the mid-1960s. Eureka Classics presents three of their best in this special-edition set: The Golden Buddha, Angel with the Iron Fists and The Singing Thief. Directed by studio regulars Lo Wei (The Big Boss) and Chang Cheh (The One-Armed Swordsman), The Golden Buddha, Angel with the Iron Fists and The Singing Thief filter a craze for films centred on super-spies and master criminals through the inimitable style of the Shaw Brothers Studio. All three films are presented on Blu-ray for the first time from HD masters supplied by Celestial Pictures. Super Spies and Secret Lies will be released from 18 November 2024 in the UK, and from 19 November 2024 in North America. The Limited edition release of 2000 copies (per territory) will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

Eureka! has announced its October 2024 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie that began life as a comic strip before becoming a cult phenomenon in the 1990s; and an action-packed tale starring the first lady of kung fu cinema, Angela Mao.

Brought to the screen by director Rachel Talalay (Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare) and starring Lori Petty (Point Break) in its title role, Tank Girl is a slice of post-apocalyptic science fiction – and a bonafide cult classic – adapted from the hit comic strip created by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. First published by the British comics magazine Deadline in 1988, the Tank Girl comic strip became a cult phenomenon in the 1990s. In 1995, the central character starred in a new run of stories under DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint and this big-screen adaptation, which formed one part of a boom in comic book movies that also included The Shadow, Judge Dredd and The Phantom. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. Available from 28 October 2024, the Limited Collector’s Edition set (2000 copies only) will exclusively feature a Hardbound Slipcase featuring new artwork by Tank Girl cover artist Greg Staples & 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! 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. Available from 21 October 2024 in the UK, and from 22 October 2024 in North America. The Limited edition release of 2000 copies (per territory) will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

Eureka! has announced its September 2024 line-up. Featured amongst this line-up four crime epics that have had an immeasurable impact on popular culture around the globe; a couple of crazy kung-fu extravaganzas from the first family of Hong Kong martial arts; a kung-fu soccer comedy starring Yuen Biao; plus re-issues of G. W. Pabst’s sordid melodrama Pandora’s Box, and Orson Welles’ film noir masterpiece, Touch of Evil.

An early cinematic pioneer with an undeniably pervasive influence, Louis Feuillade made hundreds of films in a short career spanning only a few decades. Today, he is best remembered for his landmark serials Fantômas, Les Vampires, Judex and Tih Minh, four crime epics that have had an immeasurable impact on popular culture around the globe. The Masters of Cinema series is honoured to present these silent masterworks on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from astonishing 4K restorations. Presented in a ten-disc Limited Edition Blu-ray box set entitled Louis Feuillade: The Complete Crime Serials (1913-1918)(2000 copies only) for the first time in the UK from 30 September 2024.

Sports, action, and comedy collide in Golden Harvest’s The Champions, the precursor to Shaolin Soccer from the first family of Hong Kong martial arts cinema: the inimitable Yuen Clan! Written and directed by Brandy Yuen (In the Line of Duty III) and featuring action choreography by Yuen Shun-yi (The Miracle Fighters) and Yuen Chun Yeung (Armour of God), The Champions is a sporting underdog story filtered through some of the greatest minds in the history of Hong Kong action cinema. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time ever from a brand new 2K restoration! Available from 23 September 2024 in the UK (for the first time on home video) and from 24 September 2024 in North America. The first print run of 2000 copies only (in each territory) will exclusively feature a limited edition O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

In the wake of Encounter of the Spooky Kind, the Hong Kong film industry launched headlong into a prolific genre cycle that drew upon Taoist folklore. Popular throughout the 1980s and into the next decade, these films combined elements of horror, fantasy, comedy, and martial arts as they pit their protagonists against hopping vampires, vengeful ghosts, and evil sorcerers. Here, Eureka Classics is proud to present two of the most mind-bending tales of Taoist magic ever committed to film: Taoism Drunkard and The Young Taoism Fighter! Filled with imagery both fantastical and thrilling – not least Taoism Drunkard’s banana monster – and featuring some of the most jaw-droppingly inventive fight sequences in the history of martial arts cinema, Taoism Drunkard and The Young Taoism Fighter are cult classics from the celebrated Yuen Clan that need to be seen to be believed. Both films are presented on Blu-ray for the first time ever from brand new 2K restorations. Available, from 23 September 2024 in the UK and from 24 September in North America. The first print run of 2000 copies only (in each territory) will exclusively feature a limited edition O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

In a role intended at one point for Marlene Dietrich (The Blue Angel), 22 year-old Louise Brooks (Diary of a Lost Girl), with her fragile beauty and iconic dark bob hairstyle, gives a performance decades ahead of its time that immortalised her as an icon. Largely condemned and censored upon its initial release for its daring treatment of sexuality and female desire, Brooks’ understated yet erotically charged performance endures as among the most modern of the silent era. Reviled and bowdlerised at its debut, Pandora’s Box has since been recognised as one of the masterpieces of early German cinema. A sordid melodrama made with great style, it affirms G. W. Pabst as a daring and important director and Louise Brooks as one of cinema’s most exquisite and distinctive performers. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present Pabst’s masterpiece in a new restoration on Blu-ray. Re-issued on Blu-ray in a Standard Edition from 16 September 2024.

Touch of Evil begins with one of the most brilliant sequences in the history of cinema; and ends with one of the most brilliant final scenes ever committed to celluloid. In between unfurls a picture whose moral, sexual, racial, and aesthetic attitudes remain so radical as to cross borders established not only in 1958, but in the present age also. Welles’ final studio-system picture has at last become secure in its status as one of the greatest films ever made. It remains a testament to the genius of Welles –– a film of Shakespearean richness, inexhaustible. The Masters of Cinema Series is extremely proud to present Touch of Evil in on Ultra HD Blu-ray. Released in a standard edition from 16 September 2024.

Eureka! has announced its August 2024 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up are a selection of shorts from most influential and celebrated comedy duo of all time, a martial arts extravaganza, and dynamic yakuza thriller from Kinji Fukasaku.

Standing tall alongside Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin as pioneers of cinematic comedy, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are two of the most beloved comedians in the history of moving pictures. Having acted alongside each other for the first time in 1921, they officially teamed up later in the decade in a series of shorts made for producer Hal Roach – launching a wildly successful partnership that would survive into the sound era and last for another quarter of a century. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the early works of Laurel & Hardy – painstakingly restored from the best available materials held by collectors and archives around the globe – in a special two-disc Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK. Released on 19 August 2024 , the first print run of 2000 copies only will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase.

Starring Jimmy Wang Yu (The One-Armed Swordsman) and directed by Lo Wei, the man behind the smash-hit Bruce Lee vehicles The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, A Man Called Tiger is a martial arts extravaganza released at the height of an international kung fu craze. Long rumoured to have been planned as the third collaboration between Lo Wei and Bruce Lee before Lee made his directorial debut with The Way of the Dragon, A Man Called Tiger instead became a vehicle for another martial arts superstar in Jimmy Wang Yu. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film for the first ever on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration. Available from 26 August 2024 for the first time ever in the UK, and from 27 August 2024 in North America (Blu-ray debut). The first print run of 2000 copies only (in each territory) will exclusively feature a limited edition O-card slipcase, reversible poster, and a collector’s booklet.

A standout yakuza film directed by a master of the genre in Kinji Fukasaku (Battles Without Honour and Humanity), Wolves, Pigs and Men is an uncompromising treatise on brutality and brotherhood starring Rentarô Mikuni (Harakiri), Kin’ya Kitaôji (Battles Without Honour and Humanity: Final Episode) and the inimitable Ken Takakura (Abashiri Prison). Blending the staple themes of the Japanese gangster film with narrative and aesthetic qualities borrowed from the French New Wave and American film noir, Wolves, Pigs and Men stands as one of the finest yakuza movies of the 1960s. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from a new restoration of the original film elements by Toei. Available from 19 August 2024 as part of The Masters of Cinema Series, the first print run of 2000 copies only will exclusively feature a limited edition O-card slipcase.

Eureka! has announced its July 2024 line-up for the UK and North America. Featured amongst this line-up are an action-packed thriller produced by Golden Harvest; and a spectacular 1978 sci-fi adventure directed by Kinji Fukasaku.

From the director of The Skyhawk, Broken Oath and King Boxer, Jeong Chang-hwa’s The Double Crossers is an action-packed revenge story produced by Golden Harvest, starring South Korean actor and martial artist Shin Il-ryong (The Dragon Lives Again) and featuring the legendary Sammo Hung (The Magnificent Butcher). Following in the footsteps of Golden Harvest’s earlier Bruce Lee vehicles, The Double Crossers was made in the years following Lee’s death, when the company was in search of a new generation of martial arts stars. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray in its worldwide debut from a brand new 2K restoration. Available from 22 July in the UK and from 23 July in North America, the first print run of 2000 copies only will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.

Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale) directs an international cast led by Sonny Chiba, Vic Morrow and Etsuko Shihomiin the science fiction spectacle Message from Space. Boasting a sweeping score and special effects that impress to this day, Message from Space was the most expensive Japanese film ever made at the time of its release – a cosmic fantasy designed to replicate the success of Star Wars while drawing upon Japan’s own genre tradition, recalling such films as Battle in Outer Space, Gorath and Fukasaku’s own The Green Slime. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Message from Space on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from an immaculate restoration of the original film elements by Toei. Available from 22 July in the UK only, the first print run of 2000 copies only will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and reversible poster.

For a limited time, buy both of the July 🇬🇧 Blu-ray titles (The Double Crossers & Message from Space) together in the same order and get 10% OFF from the Eureka UK store. Offer closes 10am (BST) 6 May 2024.
