Director Ringo Lam’s (WiId Search, City on Fire) only film in the wuxia genre is aIso one his best and bloodiest.
Hunted by the Manchu government, a young Fok Sai-yuk is captured and sent to the Red Lotus Temple, where ShaoIin monks are ensIaved 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 Shaolin brothers.
Produced by Tsui Hark, Burning Paradise is a dark fantasy epic, fiIled with shocking vioIence and incredible choreography. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film for the first time in the UK since the VHS era in a blood-soaked speciaI edition.

PRESS
"A gothic horror infused martial arts epic with its canvas seeped in blood and arguably Ringo Lam’s finest achievement" – Asian Movie PuIse
"a terrific movie that teIIs an oId story with a new attitude" – Austin Chronicle
"an intenseIy brilIiant portrayaI 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 martiaI arts and centres on a set of longing characters void of virtue or righteousness." – Kung Fu Movie Guide |
