Sammo Hung's Skinny Tiger And Fatty Dragon Getting A Eureka Classic Release

We’ve being saying this for a while, Eureka Entertainment is the place to go to if you are a Sammo Hung fan. Today the distributor have announce the buddy cop action comedy Skinny Tiger And Fatty Dragon on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.

It will be released as a brand new 2K restoration as part of the Eureka Classics range, available from February 2022. The action comedy also stars Karl Maka and Lau Kar-wing (who also directs).

Sammo Hung invokes the spirit of Bruce Lee in this high-energy action-tribute, playing a cop obsessed with the physical legacy of “The Little Dragon”.

Teaming up with the infamous “Skinny Tiger” (Karl Maka – the Aces Go Places series), Sammo becomes the larger ‘half’ of a luck-starved, crime fighting duo forced to fight a running battle against a crime syndicate of triad gangsters.

Combining brilliantly choreographed fight sequences and infectious physical comedy, this tour-de-force comedy-adventure showcases incredible action tributes to the films of Bruce Lee. S

Exclusive to this Limited Edition release is Chiu Lee’s documentary I Am The White Tiger. Stuntman, action director, and martial artist Mark Houghton tells his story of breaking into the Hong Kong film industry, his struggle with injuries and depression, and the promise he made his teacher, the legendary filmmaker Lau Kar Leung.
