Eureka Entertainment to release CITY HUNTER, Jackie Chan's stylish action-comedy extravaganza, as part of the Eureka Classics range on Blu-ray on 17 September 2018, featuring a Limited Edition O-card and Collector's Booklet [First print run only]
Jackie Chan stars as the girl-chasing private detective Ryo Saeba in this hilarious live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series, City Hunter, presented from a stunning new 2K restoration!
Hired to track down Shizuko Imamura, the runaway daughter of a publishing tycoon, Ryo initially turns the job down... until he sees a picture of the missing woman! Ryo eventually finds her aboard a luxury cruise ship, but much to the annoyance of his exasperated assistant Carrie (Joey Wang, A Chinese Ghost Story), Ryo seems more interested in catching Shizuko's attention than returning her safely to her father. When terrorists hijack the ship, Ryo must put his romantic feelings aside and swing into action to dispatch the bad guys and save the day.
Packed with inventive action sequences coordinated by an at his peak Chan, City Hunter is one of the most visually creative films of Jackie's career - with a vibrant cinematography and a quirky sense of humour. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film for the first time in the UK on Blu-ray.

Have Another....Pina Colada!!
A lesser known one of Jackie Chans back catalogue here, which is a live adaptation of a Japanese manga that ran between 1985 and 1991. documenting the works of a hapless private detective. The tongue is entirely placed within cheek here ads Chan goofs and pranks his way through this movie, even paying homage to Street Fighter II at one point. All of the elements are there, evil terrorists that hijack a luxury cruise liner, massive fight scenes that bring a smile to the face. This is one that i owned on VHS for years and when i saw it available with all of the extras i felt compelled to own it. This is a good one to break people into the world of Jackie Chan with. Further to this break people into the world of Manga, further adaptations have been done of City Hunter including a TV series in 2011
