Well Go USA, the leading distribution company for blistering martial arts and action films, is readying to unleash the ultra sleek period martial arts epic 100 Yards on Blu-Ray and DVD this February. Considered by myself as one of the best action pics of the year, 100 Yards is a no holds barred clash of ferocious martial combat that tells of an unknown period in Chinese history. Scroll below for Intel, box art and trailer below!
Synopsis:
In volatile 1920s Tianjin, a mere decade after China’s last imperial dynasty was overthrown, a clandestine martial arts circle arose to deter crime and maintain peace between rival martial arts schools. But after a renowned master dies and names his apprentice—rather than his son—as his successor, he unwittingly kicks off a fierce power struggle that will bring the entire city to the brink of chaos.

I was able to catch the film earlier last year during the 2nd annual Big Bad Film Fest and the movie delivered on all fronts in regards to historical info and bombastic fight design with action superstar Andy On and Jacky Heung in fine form.
100 Yards is a masterclass in infusing heavy handed drama, politics and love with blazing and expertly shot martial arts action for a breathtaking viewing experience.
