Official details:

international superstar.

Following the tremendous triumph of the Once Upon a Time in China franchise, Jet Li shifted his focus from historical settings to contemporary action films, ultimately propelling him to global stardom.

One of the most renowned figures in international cinema and among the most prominent stars in the annals of Hong Kong film.

In The Enforcer (also known as My Father is a Hero), Li plays an undercover police officer on the hunt for a notorious crime boss in Hong Kong. He teams up with his skilled martial artist son and a female officer (Anita Mui, from Drunken Master 2) to enforce the law. In Dr Wai in “The Scripture with No Words,” Li portrays a struggling author who lives vicariously through one of his characters, a daring adventurer similar to Indiana Jones, in search of a legendary scripture. Finally, in Hitman (also known as Contract Killer), Li takes on the role of Tai Feng, a young hitman with a strong moral code who crosses paths with the infamous “King of Killers” – a renowned vigilante with a hefty bounty on his head.

Eureka Classics is excited to offer UK audiences the chance to experience three of Jet Li’s most popular action movies on Blu-ray for the very first time.

The movie features a star-studded cast, including Tse Miu, Blacky Ko, Bonnie Fu Yuk Jing, Yu Rong Guang, Ken Lo, Damian Lau, Collin Chou, Rosamund Kwan, Charlie Young, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Law Kar Ying, Billy Chow Bei Lei, Eric Tsang, Simon Yam, Gigi Leung, Keiji Sato, and Jude Poyer.
