Knockabout (Blu-ray) standard version

Eureka Entertainment release another kung fu comedy classic directed by Sammo Hung (The Millionaires’ Express) on limited edition blu ray.

Knockabout features a cast of martial arts movie legends including Yuen Biao (The Prodigal Son, Dragons Forever), Bryan “Beardy” Leung Kar Yan (Warriors Two), and Lau Kar Wing (Odd Couple) alongside Sammo himself.

Brothers Yipao (Yuen Biao) and Taipao (Leung Kar Yan) are a couple of down on their luck conmen. After getting soundly defeated by the kung fu master, Silver Fox (Lau Kar Wing), the brothers realise it would be in their own self-interest if they learn how to fight, and they ask him to train them.

Unfortunately, their new master is actually a ruthless killer, and when the brothers realise this, one of them is murdered. To get revenge, the surviving brother must learn a unique form of kung fu from an unlikely source, a beggar who just happens to be a master fighter!

Featuring one of the greatest action finales in the history of Hong Kong cinema, Knockabout is yet another classic of martial arts filmmaking from the legendary Sammo Hung, and Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in its UK debut on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration.
