Shot back-to-back with The Fate of Lee Khan (but not released until two years later), it stands as a worthy follow-up to his earlier works Come Drink with Me, Dragon Inn and A Touch of Zen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the reign of the Jiajing Emperor (Chao Lei), China's coastal regions have come under attack by wokou - Japanese pirates under the leadership of the infamous Hakatatsu (Sammo Hung). To combat this threat, the Emperor tasks a trusted general, Zhu Wan (Tu Kuang-chi), with assembling a group of skilled warriors to find and eliminate the pirates. Under the command of General Yu Dayou (Roy Chiao), the band of soldiers - including husband-and-wife sword-fighters Wu Ji-yuan (Wing Bai) and Wu Ruo-shi (Feng Hsu) - set out to draw Hakatatsu, his ally Xu Dong (Han Ying-chieh) and their pirate clan into a series of spectacular showdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by historical events and featuring several storied figures drawn from Chinese history, The Valiant Ones is a standout wuxia film produced during the dying days of the genre, as audience tastes were shifting towards more grounded kung fu cinema. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray from a 4K restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition O-card slipcase featuring new artwork by Grégory Sacré (Gokaiju) (First Pressing Only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation, presented in Dolby Vision HDR from a 4K digital restoration of the original negatives gifted by director King Hu to the Hong Kong Film Archive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompressed original Mandarin mono restored from the original soundtrack negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles newly translated for this release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new audio commentary by Asian film expert Frank Djeng (NY Asian Film Festival)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTony Rayns on The Valiant Ones – Brand new interview with critic and Asian film expert Tony Rayns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new video essay by David Cairns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Life of a Lucky Stuntman – Brand new interview with stuntman Billy Chan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Father and I – Brand new interview with actor Ng Ming-choi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival 2003 interview with actress Hsu Feng by Frédéric Ambroisine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival 2003 interview with Roger Garcia (Hong Kong International Film Festival Society) by Frédéric Ambroisine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival 2016 interview with actor Ng Ming-choi by Frédéric Ambroisine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Jonathan Clements (First Pressing Only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eureka Entertainment (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43288301764808,"sku":"EKV70531","price":56.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/valiantones4k.jpg?v=1709697431","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/valiant-ones-the-4k-uhd","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
