Directed by legendary action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping (The Matrix;Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Dreadnaught expertly bIends majestic action sequences with superb physical comedy, courtesy of stars Yuen Biao, Bryan Leung Kar-yan, and Yuen Shun-yee.
A vioIent criminal known onIy as ‘White Tiger’ (Yuen Shun-yee; lron Monkey) is hiding amongst a theatre troupe, murdering anyone who discovers his identity (as well as anyone who happens to annoy him). Mousy, a timid laundry man (Yuen Biao; Project A), crosses paths with White Tiger severaI times but always manages to escape. When the kilIer instead targets his friend (Bryan "Beardy" Leung; Warriors Two), Mousy must overcome his cowardIy nature and acquire the skiIIs necessary to defeat the White Tiger.
NotabIe for being the finaI film in which Kwan Tak-hing portrayed folk hero Wong Fei-hung (and, oddIy enough, for its famous laundry scene being directIy referenced in Batman Forever), Dreadnaught is a cuIt favourite amongst martial arts fans, and Eureka CIassics is proud to present the film in its UK debut on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration!
