Not to be confused with the various retellings of Poe#39;s famous tale, Black Cat is a high-octane Hong Kong action thriller that provides a hugely entertaining pre-curser to the likes of Tarantino#39;s Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) and south Korean cult classic, The Villainess (2017).When Catherine (Jade Leung), a mentally disturbed young woman, is detained by the police after accidentally killing a truck driver, she finds herself part of a covert training system. Programmed as an assassin, having learned a host of new deadly skills, she becomes a lethal government weapon, codenamed Black Cat.Director Steven Shin (Brotherhood, Easy Money, Black Cat 2), had initially intended to make a straight up remake of Luc Besson#39;s La Femme Nikita (1990) but when Disney bought out the rights he was forced to rethink. His solution was Black Cat, a slick, action packed gun toting thrill ride.Features:Stunning New 2K Restoration presented in original 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio2.0 English Mono2.0 Cantonese Mono with English Subtitles2.0 Cantonese Mono with English SDHAudio commentary with Asian cinema experts Mike Leeder and Arne VenemaAudio commentary with Asian cinema expert Frank DjengInterview with Actress Jade LeungEnglish opening and closingOriginal Hong Kong TrailerEnglish TrailerNewly-Reconstructed TrailerTai Seng Reconstruction TrailerReversible sleeve with HK poster art
