Eureka! Entertainment has announced a Blu-ray collection featuring three films starring renowned action star Jet Li for release in November on the Eureka Classics label.

After the massive success of the Once Upon a Time in China series, Jet Li moved away from period settings and started to focus on action films set in the modern-era, a decision that would make him an international icon and of the biggest stars in the history of Hong Kong cinema.

In The Enforcer (Kap ba ba dik sung aka My Father is a Hero, 1995), Li is an undercover police officer tracking down a notorious Hong Kong crime lord. Teaming up with his martial-arts prodigy son and a female officer (Anita Mui), together they lay down the law! In Dr Wai in “The Scripture with No Words” (Mo him wong, 1996) a down on his luck pulp fiction author (Li) lives vicariously through one of his characters, an Indiana Jones-esque adventurer searching for a mythical scripture. Then, in Hitman (Sat sau ji wong, aka Contract Killer, 1998), Li plays Tai Feng, a young assassin with a “sense of justice” who crosses paths with the “King of Killers” — a legendary vigilante with a huge bounty on his head.

Eureka Classics presents three of Jet Li’s most beloved action films on Blu-ray for the first time ever in the UK.

Heroes and Villains: Three Films Starring Jet Li will be released in the UK as a 3-disc Blu-ray set on 20 November 2023 at the Eureka Store pre-order price of £31.99.
