Sports, action, and comedy collide in Golden Harvest’s THE CHAMPIONS, the precursor to Shaolin Soccer from the first family of Hong Kong martial arts cinema: the inimitable Yuen Clan!
Lee Tong (Yuen Biao, DREADNAUGHT) is a young farmer who has grown up in an isolated rural community. When an indiscretion lands him in hot water, he leaves his home in the countryside and heads for the big city - where he meets Suen (Cheung Kwok-keung, EASTERN CONDORS), an urban soccer player who recognises Tong’s talent for the beautiful game and encourages him to try out for a pro team. But Tong’s first chance at sporting glory is scuppered by a rivalry with the narcissistic King (Dick Wei, PROJECT A), who relegates the newcomer to cleaning up after his teammates. Having discovered a love for soccer, Tong soon accepts an offer to join a rival team - and the stage is set for a final confrontation with King on the pitch.
Written and directed by Brandy Yuen (IN THE LINE OF DUTY III) and featuring action choreography by Yuen Shun-yi (THE MIRACLE FIGHTERS) and Yuen Chun Yeung (ARMOUR OF GOD), THE CHAMPIONS is a sporting underdog story filtered through some of the greatest minds in the history of Hong Kong action cinema. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time ever from a brand new 2K restoration!

Who thinks we should have "A Kid from Tibet" next? Keep the Yuen Biao vehicles coming guys 🙂👍
Original Shaolin soccer
Drunken Tai Chi (1984) 2k remaster, please
Definitely getting this! It's a underrated yuen biao classic! Jus like on the run.
This is a great movie!
Already have the HK bluray, but this is an easy upgrade!
I have the HK blu ray too. Great to see you on here. I miss your videos.
@@HKUSAReviewsInterviews Thanks... Yea the growth just wasn't there sadly so not really worth the little time off I do have, but I'm still around here and there :)
I saw this movie 10 years ago in youtube, finally a Blu-ray release of this funny movie 😊 Thank You, Eureka
Excellente idée de sortir ce film qui a fait le bonheur de mes enfants il y a 20 ans.
La restauration est de très bonne facture !👍
Why does the Special Edition cover have the colours of the French flag? 1:56
By the way I have the blu ray of this from Hong Kong so it’s not the blu ray debut exactly but still super exciting!
wow It looks good and sounds good compared to the 360p mp4 I got
More Yuen Biao ❤️
Great movie but Golden Harvest hardly remaster their movies to 4K. The only copies I got in 4K are Enter the Dragon and Dragons Forever.
Shaw Brothers have remastered over 100 movies into 4K.
Fortune Star own the rights to most of the Golden Harvest back catalogue. The Bruce Lee films have been scanned in 4K and some Jackie Chan have also had the 4K treatment
Yuen Biao movie yessss
Yuen Biao Hustle.
