The inimitable martial arts superstar Cynthia Rothrock stars in two of the most gloriously entertaining films of her career! In China O'Brien, city cop and formidable martial artist Lori "China" O'Brien (Rothrock) is forced to resign from the force and return home to a small Utah town after her involvement in an accidental death. But upon arrival in Beaver Creek, she finds that her lawman father - Sheriff John O'Brien (David Blackwell) - is desperately trying to bring down local crime boss Edwin Sommers (Steven Kerby), and it isn't long before she steps into the fray. Then, in China O'Brien 2, Lori must once again protect her hometown when it becomes a hideout for a dangerous fugitive: the escaped drug lord Charlie Baskin (Harlow Marks). Helmed by Robert Clouse, the celebrated director of Enter the Dragon and Game of Death, the China O'Brien films firmly established Cynthia Rothrock as an international action star following a successful string of hits in Hong Kong. Eureka Classics is proud to present both films for the first time on Ultra HD Blu-ray from brand new 4K restorations.
