Vinegar Syndrome Set to Unleash The Dragon with the Special Edition Blu-Ray of Don Wilson’s RED SUN Rising!

Throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s, former kickboxing champ turned DTV action star Don “The Dragon” Wilson churned out a bevy of karate filled action flicks for genre fans. From the Bloodfist collection to Night Hunter, The Dragon was a staple in the industry for the better part of a decade.

One of Wilson’s best entries and my personal favorite was the 1994 martial arts themed thriller Red Sun Rising which boasted one of the biggest budgets for Wilson and also has some of his best fighting sequences. It also helped that his adversary was none other than Emmy award winner and martial arts icon James Lew who battled The Dragon in the finale.

Well, just like Don’s other film Whatever It Takes, Vinegar Syndrome is serving up Red Sun Rising on special edition Blu-Ray which features an army of priceless special features including BTS footage and interviews. Check out the cover art and details below!

Official Synopsis:
When his partner is killed by the Yakuza, Tokyo detective Thomas Hoshino (Wilson) travels to Los Angeles to pursue the men responsible. After confronting one of the Yakuza leaders in an LAPD elevator, Hoshino witnesses the gangster die in a mysterious fashion. Skeptical of Hoshino, Police Captain Meisler (Michael Ironside) assigns Det. Karen Ryder (Terry Farrell) to watch over Hoshino and make sure he doesn’t interfere with the case. Putting aside their cultural differences, the two detectives begin working together and soon uncover evidence of an international gun smuggling ring involving the Yakuza, crooked cops, and local gang members. All the while, a mysterious assassin with the ability to kill with a single touch is after Hoshino and his new partner.

Like I stated, Vinegar Syndromehas pulled out all the stops once again and this will be another must have for your collection for the special features alone!

Red Sun Rising is an explosive action thriller with fast-paced fight scenes choreographed by Wilson himself, along with fight choreographer Art Camacho. Co-starring Terry Farrell (Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth), Michael Ironside (Total Recall), and Japanese character actor Mako (Conan the Barbarian), Vinegar Syndrome Archive is proud to present this under-seen slice of 90s action on Blu-ray, newly restored and scanned in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative.
