It brings to vivid life the colorful world of China in the late nineteenth century, an era of immense cultural and technological change, as Western imperialism clashed with tradition and public order was upended by the threats of foreign espionage and rising nationalism. Against this turbulent backdrop, one man—the real-life martial-arts master, physician, and folk hero Wong Fei-hung—emerges as a noble protector of Chinese values as the country hurtles toward modernity. Conceived by Hong Kong New Wave leader Tsui Hark, this epic cycle is not only a dazzling showcase for some of the most astonishing action set pieces ever committed to film but also a rousing celebration of Chinese identity, history, and culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\"\u003eSIX-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION COLLECTOR’S SET FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K digital restorations of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China II\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIII,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand new 2K digital restorations of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China IV\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eV,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eall presented with their original Cantonese theatrical-release sound mixes in uncompressed monaural or stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate stereo Cantonese soundtracks for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China II,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003efeaturing the original theatrical sound effects, and monaural Cantonese soundtrack for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China III\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China and America\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1997) in a 2K digital transfer, featuring 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio and monaural Cantonese soundtracks, along with a stereo Mandarin track with the voice of actor Jet Li\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interviews with director Tsui Hark, Film Workshop cofounder Nansun Shi, editor Marco Mak, and critic Tony Rayns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcerpts from audio interviews with Li conducted in 2004 and ’05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeleted scenes from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China III\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentary from 2004 about the real-life martial-arts hero Wong Fei-hung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFrom Spikes to Spindles,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ea 1976 documentary about New York City’s Chinatown featuring uncredited work by Tsui\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcerpts from a 2019 master class given by martial-arts choreographer Yuen Wo-ping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival interviews featuring Tsui and actors John Wakefield, Donnie Yen, and Yen Shi-kwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBehind-the-scenes footage for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China and America\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking-of program from 1997 on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in China and America\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew English subtitle translations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: An essay on the films by critic Maggie Lee and an essay on the cinematic depictions of Wong by novelist Grady Hendrix\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Unobstructed View","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41329585553608,"sku":"CC3310BD","price":165.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/onceuponatimeinchina.jpg?v=1638841545","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/once-upon-a-time-in-china-blu-ray","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
