Street Date: July 3, 2024

Synopsis: From the iconic filmmaker behind cult classics Double Team and Knock Off, Tsui Hark, comes the action-fantasy hit Zu Warriors (also known as The Legend Of Zu). A remake of the 1983 film Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain (widely considered to be the inspiration behind John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China), and based on the Chinese fantasy novel Legend of the Swordsmen of the Mountains of Shu by Huanzhulouzhu.

High in the clouds of China lies the Zu Mountain range, home to the immortal martial arts clans. But these mountains also attract a powerful fearsome demon whose plan for total domination includes the annihilation of the clans.
