British distributors 88 Films have provided final details for their upcoming 2D/3D Blu-ray release of Wei Lo's Magnificent Bodyguards (1978), which will be available for purchase in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Description: Jackie Chan leaps out of the screen in Magnificent Bodyguards! As Lord Ting Chung, he commits to leading a team of warriors escorting a gravely ill man across a treacherous land known as Stormy Hills — a place filled with danger, betrayal and possible death. But as the journey unfolds, could their mysterious charge be hiding a deadly secret?
Directed by Lo Wei, the filmmaker who gave the world The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, this is classic martial arts madness — complete with a score that may sound very familiar to fans of a certain galaxy-spanning sci-fi saga. For this release, the stereoscopic presentation has been carefully restored, with alignment and panel matching work carried out by the team at the 3-D Film Archive, helping bring this rare Hong Kong 3D spectacle back to life as originally intended for the big screen.
