Is there any greater cinematic crime, in this day in age, than a Donnie Yen action flick not receiving distribution in the West? And yet this remains the case with 2011’s The Lost Bladesman. This is a historical epic based around the classic novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and starring Donnie Yen as the legendary god general Guan Yu. It arrives from writing and directing team Alan Mak and Felix Wong, who had a large hand in the popular Infernal Affairs series.

Western release or no Western release, The Lost Bladesman can be acquired from trusted retailer DDDHouse on Region A Blu-ray for only $25.00 and Region 3 DVD for $16.03.

Donnie Yen also served as action director on this lavish production. The film co-stars Jiang Wen, Alex Fong, Chin Siu-ho, Betty Sun, and Andy On. Check out an English subbed trailer here.

    I watched this film last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t get all the ‘hate’ for it I’ve read online. Review forthcoming!
