New Releases: Shaolin Boxers & The Daredevils Available March 2025

Since September Eureka have been sending us 2025's new releases and its definitely been exciting for us as a shop, but also as fans of Asian films and these titles are something to get excited about. Classic martial arts action with Shaolin Boxer and then two films for one with The Daredevils and The Ode to Gallantry.

Shaolin Boxer

In the village of Fukien, the people are terrified of the local security squad – led by Ho Yung (Chu Mu, The Invincible Iron Palm), who gained his position by bribing the referee in the village’s annual martial arts tournament. In order to wrestle control from this band of tyrants, Chuan Tai (Tien) – the master of the local Shaolin school – enters the competition to prove his dominance and free the villagers from their obligation to pay for Ho’s protection. But Ho Yung does not intend on relinquishing power so easily, and teams up with Lei Biao (Li Min-Lang, The Shadow Boxer) – a kung fu adept with shaky morality – to ensure that Chuan Tai does not emerge victorious.

The Daredevils & Ode to Gallantry

Set in Republic era China, The Daredevils follows Yang Ta-ying (Lo Mang) as he sets out to avenge his father, a military commander who was murdered in cold blood by Han Pei-tsang (Wong Lik), a thief-turned-soldier who killed Yang’s father – along with the rest of his family – to take control of his estate and his army. With the help of his friends Chen Feng (Chiang Sheng), Fu Quanyi (Lu Feng), and Xin Zheng (Sun Chien), he sets out for justice. Then, in Ode to Gallantry, a lone martial artist nicknamed “Mongrel” is continually drawn into an intense struggle between several warring martial arts clans after he stumbles across the Black Iron Token, which entitles the owner to have any wish granted by Xie Yanke (Wong Lik), a brutal kung fu master.
