A breathtaking action adventure from perhaps the greatest action choreographer of all time, Yuen Woo-ping’s IRON MONKEY combines mind-blowing fight choreography, with a classic story of courage, honour and sacrifice.
Wong Kei-ying (Donnie Yen; Ip Man, Rogue One), a physician and martial artist, is mistaken for a masked vigilante known as the IRON MONKEY (Yu Rong-kwong); a Robin Hood style hero who has been robbing the wealthy local officials in order to provide medical treatment for the poor. The two men must team up to defeat a corrupt political regime, and protect the lives of the people whose cause they champion.
Presented from a brand new, stunning 2K restoration, Eureka Classics is proud to present this iconic martial arts classic making its UK debut on Blu-ray.
