Cast: Jackie Chan, Danny Aiello, and Roy Chiao

Region: ABC/B

Maverick New York City cops Billy Wong (Jackie Chan) and Danny Garoni (Danny Aiello) are sent to Hong Kong to gather leads after the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman’s daughter. Once there, the pair find themselves obstructed by the local police and hunted by crime boss Harold Ko (Roy Chiao), who will stop at nothing to protect his drug empire.

Directed by James Glickenhaus and shot across New York and Hong Kong, THE PROTECTOR is a rare co-production that captures Chan at a pivotal moment — delivering the hard-hitting action expected of him in the territory while navigating the demands of a Hollywood production. 88 Films presents three distinct cuts of the film — the US theatrical version, Jackie Chan’s personal Hong Kong edit, and a longer Japanese extended version — each restored in stunning 4K from the original 35mm camera negatives.
