This summer, gear up for pulse-pounding action and martial arts mayhem as Shout! Studios launches HONG KONG CINEMA CLASSICS™, a brand-new entertainment label dedicated to showcasing the legendary films of Hong Kong cinema. These iconic titles will be available in stunning 4K on digital platforms, along with definitive-edition physical releases on UHD™ and Blu-ray™, specially curated for collectors and film enthusiasts.
Celebrated for its electrifying action sequences, unique visual flair, and emotional depth, Hong Kong cinema of the 1980s and 1990s stands as a golden era in film history. Its influence can still be felt in modern Hollywood blockbusters—from the stylized storytelling of Quentin Tarantino to the groundbreaking action of The Matrix and John Wick series. This new collection highlights unforgettable work by visionary directors like John Woo, Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark, Corey Yuen, Gordon Chan, and Johnnie To, along with performances from international stars such as Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-Fat, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Leslie Cheung, and Tony Leung Ka-fai. Many of these acclaimed films, drawn from Shout!’s Golden Princess library and other pivotal Hong Kong classics, have been long out of print and unavailable outside Asia—until now.
In partnership with the Hong Kong Film Archives, Shout! Studios is carefully restoring and remastering these cinematic treasures. Each title is scanned in breathtaking 4K from the original camera negatives, with fully restored video and audio and freshly translated subtitles. To enhance the experience for fans and collectors, each deluxe physical release will feature exclusive bonus content and be part of a numbered series, cementing its place on the shelves of home entertainment collectors everywhere.
