Check Out The DVD And Blu-Ray Art For Well Go USA’s KILL ZONE 2
Director Soi Cheang’s “giddily frenetic” Kill Zone 2 officially has a U.S. DVD and Blu-Ray release date attached. The film is still available on VoD as well but however which way you feel, this will still make a great addition to your collection, especially if there are features, and indeed there are a few.
That, and of course you have the added benefit of watching Wu Jing and Tony Jaa fight on screen for the first time. There’s a third film in development now and one can only hope that its cast will be of equal screenfighting caliber, if not better, given the pedigree so far featuring the two legends from the 2004 film by Wilson Yip, on top of a terrific story to boot.
Check out the press announcement and artwork below for the July home release!
PLANO, TEXAS. (June 14, 2016) – In this giddily frenetic follow-up (though not a sequel) to modern martial arts epic Kill Zone (aka SPL: Sha Po Lang), action icons Tony Jaa (Furious 7, Ong Bak franchise) and Zhang Jin (Ip Man 3) team up with Hong Kong megastars Simon Yam (Ip Man), Wu Jing (Wolf Warrior) and Louis Koo (Drug War) for the critically-acclaimed, action-packed martial arts extravaganza KILL ZONE 2, debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD July 19 from Well Go USA Entertainment.
