Shout! Studios and GKIDS present HONG KONG CINEMA CLASSICS (HKCC), a retrospective of essential titles produced in the creative epicenter of Hong Kong, newly scanned in 4K and restored from original camera elements. Featuring works from directors John Woo, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Ching Siu-tung, these stories of cops and criminals, Chinese opera, and supernatural forces showcase one of the most explosively inventive eras in modern filmmaking.
A soft remake of A Chinese Ghost Story, this third installment in the trilogy sees the evil Tree Spirit back with yet another romantic ghost played by Joey Wong. The Swordsman Yen and Leslie Cheung characters are replaced in this installment by a Buddhist Abbot and his disciple (Tony Leung), who seeks shelter in the Orchid Temple as the amorous ghost attempts to court him. Jacky Cheung also pops up again, this time as a money-grabbing swordsman with a neat bag of tricks.
