We’ve got some fantastic news for classic movie fans today as Eureka Entertainment is to release TIME AND TIDE, Tsui Hark’s sharp and kinetic crime thriller, on Blu-ray featuring a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase & Collector’s Booklet (First Print Run of 2000 copies only) as a part of the Eureka Classics range from 24 May 2021.

A streetwise young man becomes a bodyguard to score quick cash. He soon befriends a once disillusioned mercenary determined to make a fresh start with his new wife. Although the two men find themselves working together to foil an assassination attempt, their partnership is short-lived. Through uncontrollable circumstances, they will unknowingly be propelled toward the opposite sides of a deadly confrontation.
A noir infused Hong Kong action thriller from Tsui Hark (Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain; Once Upon a Time in China) starring Nicholas Tse and Wu Bai (who would later appear together in New Police Story), Time and Tide was nominated for six Hong Kong film awards and remains one of Hark’s most acclaimed features.
