British distributors 88 Films have revealed the final details for their upcoming Blu-ray release of
Sammo Hung and Fruit Chan's film Heart of Dragon (1985), starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Fruit Chan, Hoi Mang, and Lam Ching-Ying. The release will be available for purchase on April 20.
Description: World-famous for their action and derring-do, old friends Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung teamed up for a more film that shows there's much more to them than brawling.
Jackie plays a good-hearted cop looking after his learning-disabled brother Danny, played by Sammo, but doesn't always succeed in keeping him out of trouble. When Danny is taken as a hostage, his brother will risk everything – his career and even his life – to rescue him, throwing it down as only Jackie Chan can.
Made the same year as Police Story, Heart of Dragon was a change of pace for the great action artists, giving them a chance to show of their acting chops as well as their stunt skills – even if they don't ignore the latter! 88 Films are proud to present this UK blu ray premiere of a Hong Kong classic.
