Loyalty, sacrifice, persistence, and honour meet bloodshed, betrayal and vengeance as Eureka’s December line-up is revealed

Eureka! has announced its December 2023 line-up. Featured amongst this line-up is a retelling of the classic story of the 47 ronin from the director of Battle Royale, one of the most unique thrillers from the Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema; plus a re-issue of the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray of The Police Story Trilogy.

An early entry in the Hong Kong gambling film cycle of the ’80s and ’90s, Casino Raiders, starring Andy Lau, injects the genre with a dose of bloody mayhem courtesy of directors Jimmy Heung and Wong Jing. Filled with surprises right until its final moments, Eureka Classics is proud to present Casino Raiders, a shockingly violent tale of brotherhood and sacrifice and one of the most unique thrillers from the Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema. Available from 4 December 2023, the first print run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase and Collector’s Booklet.

Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale) brings together an ensemble cast, including two icons of Japanese cinema – Toshiro Mifune (Seven Samurai) and Sonny Chiba (The Street Fighter) – for this samurai epic. The Fall of Ako Castle offers a moving tale of loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice where classical history explodes into brutal samurai carnage. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fukasaku’s retelling of one of the classic story of the 47 ronin. Available from 4 December 2023, the first print run of 2000 copies will feature an O-card Slipcase.

Featuring some of the most dangerous stunts ever performed on camera, The Police Story Trilogy films represent the pinnacle of Jackie Chan’s unique style of Hong Kong action filmmaking. A dazzling blend of gritty action cop drama, impeccably choreographed martial-arts sequences, and bone-crunching stuntwork – this series of films revitalised the Hong Kong action genre and established Jackie Chan as a worldwide superstar. All three films consistently appear on lists of the best action films ever made, and Eureka Classics is proud to present them on Ultra HD Blu-ray from stunning 4K restorations! Available from 4 December 2023.
