Classic Dragon Inn gets UK DVD Release date
By Tom Cunliffe 02/07/2015
Yes! Eureka in the UK will release a dual DVD / Blu ray of the King Hu wuxia/swordplay classic "Dragon Inn" on their Masters of Cinema label on September 28th. It will be beautifully restored and remastered in 4K, finally paying respect to master filmmaker King Hu's vision after nearly 50 years. Better later than never!
Here's a clip from "Dragon Inn" of the fearless swordfighter played by female action star Polly Shan Kwan as she takes on the cruel eunuch's henchmen. The saying goes ’Bruce Lee is the Dragon, but Polly is the Phoenix…’ and she was one of the top female Kung Fu stars of the 1960s and 1970s. The scene is shot and choreographed in Hu's trademark operatic style.
In its restored version this is going to look sublime. Thanks Masters of Cinema, we can't wait!
