The Adventurers

£17.99

Released: 28th April 2025. The only collaboration between action master Ringo Lam (City on Fire) and Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs), The Adventurers is an explosive story of heroic bloodshed featuring Rosamund Kwan (Once Upon a Time in China), David Chiang (Election) and Victor Wong (Big Trouble in Little China). Wai Lok-yan (Lau) was just eight years old when his parents were killed before his eyes in Cambodia, where his father had been working for the CIA during Pol Pot’s ascent to power in the latter days of the Cambodian Civil War. Taken to Thailand by his father’s colleague Shang (Chiang), Yan grows up to join the Thai Air Force and comes to discover that his father’s murderer – Ray Lui (Paul Chun, Royal Tramp), once a double agent – has now become a wealthy arms dealer based in the United States. With the help of the CIA, Yan intends to get close to Lui and have his revenge by taking on an assumed identity and gaining the trust of Lui’s daughter, Crystal (Jacklyn Wu, A Moment of Romance) – but first he will need to go undercover in San Francisco’s criminal underworld to rescue her from the clutches of the criminal Black Tiger Gang. Made shortly before Ringo Lam departed for Hollywood to make Maximum Risk with Jean-Claude Van Damme, The Adventurers is a hidden gem amongst the many heroic bloodshed films produced in Hong Kong during the 1990s. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration. LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS: Limited edition O-Card slipcase featuring new artwork by Time Tomorrow 1080p HD presentation on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration Restored Cantonese audio tracks (stereo and DTS-HD MA 5.1 options) Optional unrestored Cantonese stereo track Optional English subtitles, newly translated for this release New audio commentary by film critic David West Two Adventurers – new interview with Gary Bettinson, editor of Asian Cinema journal Previously unseen archival interview with writer and producer Sandy Shaw Theatrical trailer PLUS: A limited edition collector’s booklet featuring a new essay by Hong Kong cinema scholar Aaron Han Joon Magnan-Park
