THE LAST BLOOD (1990)

Andy Lau is out for blood... literally. Terrorists have shot two people: their target was a Tibetan religious leader but they also wounded the girlfriend of Bee (Lau - God of Gamblers). Since both victims share the same rare blood group, Bee joins the cops (headed by Alan Tam - Armour of God) racing to find a donor. But those terrorists haven't finished yet...

Also known as Hard Boiled II, Police Protectors and 12 Hours of Terror, The Last Blood is a gunplay movie such as only Hong Kong filmmakers could produce and is a full-tilt tribute to the heroic bloodshed of John Woo (Hard Boiled). A pioneering mix of Buddhists and bullets from your pals at 88 Films! (BLU-RAY)

THE FATE OF LEE KHAN (1973)

In his follow-up to the critically acclaimed A Touch of Zen, trailblazing filmmaker King Hu brings together an all-star female cast, including Hong Kong cinema stalwart Li Li-hua and Angela "Lady Kung Fu" Mao, in this lively martial arts adventure.

When Lee Khan, a powerful general of the oppressive Yuan Dynasty, procures the battle map of the Chinese rebel army, resistance fighters, aided by an undercover girl-gang, strive to corner him at an inn. Featuring stunning action sequences choreographed by Jackie Chan's "Kung Fu elder brother" Sammo Hung and a generous mix of intrigue and humor, The Fate of Lee Khan is a legendary wuxia masterpiece.

ROBOT MONSTER (1953) (3D)

A cosmic catastrophe has wiped out humanity, and now the last six survivors must outwit that strangely iconic alien menace, Ro-Man (George Barrows). Taking orders from the pitiless Great Guidance, Ro-Man wavers in his pursuit of human annihilation when he falls in love with a girl (Claudia Barrett). Can dashing young Roy (George Nader) save her? Independently photographed in less than a week on location in Bronson Canyon, the Tru-Stereo photography is comparable to the major studio 3D productions of the time. (BLU-RAY, 3D BLU with Glasses)

PUMPKINHEAD (1988)

When a group of teenagers inadvertently kill his only son, Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen, Aliens) seeks the powers of a backwoods witch to bring the child back to life. But instead, she invokes "Pumpkinhead" – a monstrously clawed demon which, once reborn, answers only to Ed's bloodlust. But as the creature wreaks its slow, unspeakable tortures on the teens, Ed confronts a horrifying secret about his connection to the beast – and realizes that he must find a way to stop its deadly mission before he becomes one with the creature forever. A terrifying parable of revenge and possession. (BLU-RAY and 4K ULTRA HD)

VIDEODROME (1983) (Criterion Collection)

When Max Renn goes looking for edgy new material for his sleazy cable TV station, he stumbles across the pirate broad­­cast of a hyperviolent torture show called “Videodrome.” His attempts to unearth the program’s origins send him on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies, sado­masochistic sex games, and bodily trans­formation. Starring James Woods and Deborah Harry, Videodrome is one of the most original and provocative works from writer-director David Cronenberg, and features ground­breaking makeup effects by Academy Award winner Rick Baker. (BLU-RAY and 4K ULTRA HD)
