The Angry River Limited Edition Blu-ray with Slipcover (88 Films U.S.) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release on May 12, 2026

The Angry River marks a cornerstone moment in Hong Kong cinema--the first film ever produced by the legendary Golden Harvest studios, which would soon launch the careers of icons like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Directed by Huang Feng (The Himalayan) and featuring fight choreography by a young Sammo Hung, this 1971 martial arts adventure introduced audiences to a new era of high-energy, emotionally charged kung fu storytelling.

Angela Mao (Invincible Eight), known worldwide as the "Queen of Kung Fu," stars as Lan Feng, a courageous young woman on a desperate mission to find a cure for her gravely injured father. But danger lurks at every turn, as the very villains responsible for her father's fate pursue her relentlessly. What follows is a whirlwind of acrobatic combat, breathtaking choreography, and fierce determination, as Lan Feng's journey becomes a battle for justice and survival.

Visually striking and filled with dynamic set pieces, The Angry River set the tone for Golden Harvest's groundbreaking approach to martial arts filmmaking--combining rich character drama with innovative fight design and a modern cinematic edge. Mao's commanding performance established her as one of the era's defining screen heroines, while Sammo Hung's kinetic fight arrangements foreshadowed his future as one of Hong Kong's most influential action legends.

This 88 Films Blu-ray edition brings The Angry River roaring back to life in a stunning 2K restoration from the original negative. Presented with an O-ring slipcase featuring new artwork by Aurelio Lorenzo, the set includes the remastered original Mandarin monaural soundtrack, optional English mono track, newly translated English subtitles, and an expert commentary by Asian cinema historian Frank Djeng. Additional features include an image gallery, reversible sleeve with original Hong Kong poster art, and the original trailer--making this definitive release a must-own for fans of classic kung fu cinema.
