Eureka Entertainment will release Cinematic Vengeance! 8 Kung Fu Classics From Director Joseph Kuo, making their worldwide debuts on Blu-ray as part of the Eureka Classics range from 15 November 2021. Released in a Limited Edition 4-Disc set [2000 copies only] featuring a 60-page Collector’s Booklet and Facsimile Lobby Cards.
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.
8 Films across four Blu-ray discs, all fully restored and presented in 1080p HD | Limited edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork by Darren Wheeling | Limited Edition 60-page booklet featuring new writing on the films included in the set by James Oliver, illustrated with archival imagery and materials | Limited Edition set of 8 facsimile lobby cards
