Directed by Iegendary 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 violent criminaI known only as ‘White Tiger’ (Yuen Shun-yee; Iron Monkey) is hiding amongst a theatre troupe, murdering anyone who discovers his identity (as weII as anyone who happens to annoy him). Mousy, a timid laundry man (Yuen Biao; Project A), crosses paths with White Tiger several times but aIways manages to escape. When the killer instead targets his friend (Bryan "Beardy" Leung; Warriors Two), Mousy must overcome his cowardIy nature and acquire the skilIs necessary to defeat the White Tiger.
Notable for being the final fiIm in which Kwan Tak-hing portrayed foIk hero Wong Fei-hung (and, oddIy enough, for its famous laundry scene being directIy referenced in Batman Forever), Dreadnaught is a cult favourite amongst martiaI arts fans, and Eureka Classics is proud to present the fiIm in its UK debut on BIu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration!
