In a major boon for action film enthusiasts and physical media collectors, Shout! Studios is launching a new entertainment label dedicated to restored Hong Kong cinema classics.

The Hong Kong Cinema Classics line will spotlight a treasure trove of Hong Kong cinematic masterpieces, beginning with digital 4K releases in June before expanding to definitive-edition physical media.

The move comes on the back of Shout! Studios nabbing worldwide rights (excluding select Asian territories) to the coveted Golden Princess movie library.

John Woo’s “Hard Boiled” (starring Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Ringo Lam’s “City on Fire” (starring Chow Yun-Fat, Sun Yueh, and Danny Lee) will begin the digital rollout on June 24. July 8 brings John Woo’s “A Better Tomorrow” trilogy, followed by Tsui Hark’s “Peking Opera Blues” and John Woo’s “The Killer” on July 22. The digital releases continue with Tony Ching’s “A Chinese Ghost Story” trilogy on Aug. 5 and Woo’s “Bullet in the Head” on Aug. 19.

On the physical media front, “The Jet Li Collection” box set launches July 29, followed by Ringo Lam’s “City on Fire” on Aug. 26 and Tsui Hark’s “Peking Opera Blues” on Sept. 23, both as 4K UHD + Blu-ray combo packs. The series will be numbered for collectors, with the five Jet Li films designated as HKCC #1-5, “City on Fire” as HKCC #6, and “Peking Opera Blues” as HKCC #7.
