description
Preorder rescheduled for release June 23, 2025 (Previously scheduled for release May 19, 2025)
An overlooked classic from an action master! Made by John Woo just before the game-changing A Better Tomorrow, Sunset Warriors was hacked about by the studio and eventually released as Heroes Shed No Tears. For years, Woo’s original cut has been a holy grail for action fans. Now – finally – you can see it for yourself. An explosive story of mercenaries battling drug lords, Sunset Warriors is a war movie such as only John Woo could make. Now restored to the director’s original vision, it can stand alongside The Killer and Bullet in the Head as one of his essential films.
