Terracotta Blu-ray & Dvd Store
Hong Kong neon-noir police action, ON THE RUN, is out in September via 88Films. This gritty, and sometimes brutal film, features Yuen Biao in a full-on action and dramatic role, a change from the comedy-action films he is known for. Yuen Biao plays a police officer, trying to solve the case of his wife's murder, and slowly unravels the layers of who he can and can't trust in his circle. Pre-order now at a special discounted price on the Terracotta store HERE
