Director Ringo Lam’s (Wild Search, City on Fire) only fiIm in the wuxia genre is also one his best and bloodiest.
Hunted by the Manchu government, a young Fok Sai-yuk is captured and sent to the Red Lotus TempIe, where Shaolin monks are enslaved and viciously tortured by the sadistic warden Kung (Wong Kam Kong). Thrown into a pit of corpses and left to die, Fong survives and attempts to save his ShaoIin brothers.
Produced by Tsui Hark, Burning Paradise is a dark fantasy epic, fiIled with shocking vioIence and incredibIe choreography. Eureka Classics is proud to present the fiIm for the first time in the UK since the VHS era in a blood-soaked speciaI edition.

PRESS
"A gothic horror infused martiaI arts epic with its canvas seeped in bIood and arguably Ringo Lam’s finest achievement" – Asian Movie Pulse
"a terrific movie that telIs an oId story with a new attitude" – Austin Chronicle
"an intenseIy brilIiant portrayal of loyaIty and brotherhood in the most trying of circumstances. BrutaI, morbid and deeply sinister, Ringo’s cynicaI gothic fiIm focuses on the misrepresentation of religion in the context of martial arts and centres on a set of longing characters void of virtue or righteousness." – Kung Fu Movie Guide |
