  • Blu-ray Release: King of Beggars

    Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: Jan. 27, 2026
    Price: Blu-ray $27.99
    Studio: Eureka/MVD

    Stephen Chow  (Kung Fu Hustle, The Mermaid) rose to fame as the star of both the Fight Back to School and Royal Tramp series and 1992’s King of Beggars, a comedic take on the story of famed martial artist and folk hero So Chan, which helped pave the way for Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle.

    So Chan (Chow) is a naturally gifted martial artist, but lazy, unmotivated and spoiled by his wealthy parents. He is forced to make something of himself when he falls in love with Yu Shang (Sharla Cheung), a prostitute who agrees to marry him on one condition: that he enters and wins the upcoming imperial martial arts tournament. So Chan only hopes to win Yu Shang’s hand in marriage, but entering the competition soon leads him to become embroiled in a bitter feud between the famed Beggar Clan and a corrupt government official, Chiu Mo-kei (Norman Chiu).

    A beloved character previously played by the likes of Yuen Siu-tien, Philip Kwok, Chow Yun-fat and Gordon Liu, So Chan – popularly known as Beggar So – was a legendary master of drunken boxing who lived during the late Qing dynasty, vividly brought to life in King of Beggars by a star on the rise in Stephen Chow.

    Eureka Classics’ new edition marks the film’s debut on Blu-ray for the first time outside of Asia.

  • Blu-ray Release: Saga of the Phoenix

    Blu-ray Release Date: Dec. 16, 2025
    Price:  Blu-ray $34.97
    Studio: 88 Films/MVD

    In a world where the boundaries between mysticism and mortality blur, 1989’s Saga of the Phoenix tells the story of a young novice nun, Peacock (Gloria Yip, The Cat), whose journey of spiritual devotion is suddenly disrupted when dark forces rise to threaten the land. After accidentally unleashing a malevolent demon during a ritual gone wrong, Peacock finds herself swept into an adventure far beyond the monastery walls. She joins forces with Master Peacock (Yuen Biao, The Bodyguard), a monk of great skill and wisdom, as well as a ragtag group of eccentric allies, including the quirky Taoist priest Ji Gong (Hiroshi Mikami), whose unorthodox methods often provide comic relief amid the chaos. Together, they must battle supernatural creatures, fend off bizarre assassins, and decipher the prophecy that foretells the world’s salvation or destruction.

    As the journey unfolds, the group traverses landscapes filled with enchantment and terror–confronting living statues, sinister apparitions, and sorcery that tests the limits of their courage and faith. At its heart, the film blends slapstick humor with high-flying martial arts choreography, dazzling practical effects, and a touch of spiritual allegory. Balancing action, comedy, and supernatural spectacle, Saga of the Phoenix delivers a fantastical tale where the fight against evil becomes a test of loyalty, resilience, and inner strength.

    A spirited mix of horror, fantasy, and martial arts cinema, it continues the legacy of Hong Kong’s imaginative genre filmmaking, standing as both a quirky comedy and a dazzling action adventure.
