Future Cops Blu-ray Eureka Street Fighter Wong Jing Limited Edition Andy Lau
Future Cops Blu-ray Eureka Street Fighter Wong Jing Limited Edition Andy Lau
Hong Kong cinema's "adaptation" of the Street Fighter video game franchise!
Introducing Eureka's Limited Edition Blu-ray release for Future Cops, a 1993 all-star Hong Kong sci-fi actioner from director Wong Jing (Chasing the Dragon, City Hunter).
Inspired by Capcom’s smash-hit video game sensation Street Fighter II, Future Cops is a mash-up of martial-arts action, comedy and science fiction directed by Wong Jing (God of Gamblers) and featuring an impressive ensemble cast, including Andy Lau (I Did it My Way), Jacky Cheung (Once Upon a Time in China), Aaron Kwok (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In), Chingmy Yau (Naked Killer) and Simon Yam (PTU).
In the year 2043, the evil crime lord The General (Ken Lo, Drunken Master II) has been imprisoned for his heinous crimes. His loyal followers Kent (Ekin Cheng, Twins Effect), Thai King (Billy Chow, Tai Chi Boxer) and Toyota (William Duen, Crime Story) have a plan to free him, though: they will travel back in time and eliminate the Judge who sentenced him. They are followed into the past by Lung (Kwok), Broomhead (Cheung), Ti Man (Lau) and Sing (Yam), “Future Cops” who intend to keep The General in jail where he belongs. But as both cops and criminals arrive in the year 1993 to search for the Judge – who back then was just a teenager – they find themselves embroiled not just in a battle for the future… but high-school drama, too.
Released in 1993 (shortly after City Hunter, another Wong Jing film that draws upon the Capcom franchise), Future Cops beat the first official adaptation of Street Fighter into cinemas by a full year. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK in this special edition.
