This listing is for the standard edition 3-disc Blu-ray. The limited edition hard slipcase + slipcover combo (designed by Tony Stella & Earl Kessler Jr.) was limited to 6,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the packaging and the 40-page book.
Martial Arts legend Yuen Biao stars as Ha Ling-Ching, a respected prosecutor who has always followed the rule of law, but has recently found himself frustrated by the ineffectiveness of the court system. Ha is pushed over the edge by the murder of a key witness in a trial along with the witness's entire family. Fed up with the court's inability to punish the guilty and protect the innocent, Ha decides to take the law into his own hands and eliminate those responsible for the murders. Soon, Ha's actions catch the interest of C.I.D. Senior Inspector Cindy See (Cynthia Rothrock) and her slovenly new partner known as Stink Egg (Corey Yuen). While trying to stop Ha, Cindy uncovers who is really behind the recent murders and the two must put aside their differences in order to take down the criminal organization before they go unpunished.

"Bone-breaking, jaw-dropping action against the backdrop of mid-eighties Hong Kong, I loved this movie. Yuen Biao is incredible and the always fantastic Cynthia Rothrock bring the pain. I can’t recommend this movie enough. For fans of: martial arts movies, stories of revenge and seeing people get their teeth kicked in."
"Excellent martial arts flick featuring the legendary Yuen/Cynthia combo. Great villain in this one as well and an interesting story about corruption. Simply awesome fight sequences scattered throughout the movie make this a fun watch. Great transfer and love how there are multiple versions of the film to watch. Great release and highly re-watchable!"
"Classic Hong Kong and great bonus features"
"This is a great movie. If you like Hong Kong action/ Jackie chan style action, with a little more blood and gore than this is for you. The stunts are outstanding. Some of the best I’ve seen"
"Great release, packaging, artwork, and restoration from VS. The extras are also great! There’s 3 cuts of the film and all of what I’ve listed makes this the definitive edition of this film. I highly recommend the film and this release even if you’re like me and missed out on the slip."
"I would have loved for this to come out on 4K, especially when they’ve loaded this release with multiple cuts of the film and a documentary, but despite that, it’s still an impressive transfer, with a very filmic look and vibrant colors, especially for an 80s film. With all the extras they’ve included in this release, this is definitely a must-have for any martial arts fan."
"Amazing movie and fast shipping! Vinegar syndrome is amazing for bringing these hidden gems to home video!"
"Multiple cuts of the film, a third disc with an amazing retro doc, and just an all around great movie. Anything with Yuen Biao is a winner."
"This is a must see and must have film. Not only is a martial arts classic, but also a cinema classic. This movie is highly recommended for you who likes the great movies. Yuen Biao and Cynthia Rothrock at their best!!!"
"One of the best VS releases! And I love the full length martial arts movie documentary in the special features."
