bullet in the head
bullet in the headrelease: 22nd june 2026
available on 4k uhd & blu-ray
After re-inventing the action film with The Killer, John Woo would turn inward and deliver the semi-autobiographical Bullet in the Head, complementing the stylistic flourishes that made his name with an unflinching and nihilistic brutality to deliver one of the most intense war films of all time.
Combining the gravity of Apocalypse Now with the spectacular action of Woo’s earlier films, Bullet in the Head is an uncompromising look at the ravages of war where ideals of brotherhood and comradeship disintegrate into greed and cruelty in a storm of bullets and blood.

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH SAMMO HUNG. The kung fu legend takes a rare dramatic role as the tough-but-fair master Yu, a teacher training young kids for a life on the stage. But times are changing; the theatres are closing and Yu must find new opportunities for his charges, even if it means letting them work in movies…
Based on the real-life childhoods of Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and, yes, Sammo himself (he’s playing his own, real-life master) Painted Faces is a nostalgic tribute to a man who turned children into superstars. 88 Films are thrilled to present the blu-ray release of this long-unavailable classic of Hong Kong cinema

Hollywood tough guy Dan Duryea plays against type as an innocent man on the run in post-war London in this early Brit Noir from Hammer, one of the many crime thrillers they made in the early 1950s.
Directed by B movie specialist Montgomery Tully and scripted by prolific pulp crime writer Steve Fisher, 36 Hours – and its American version, Terror Street – have been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from original film elements.
USAF Major Bill Rogers returns to London after more than a year overseas to find his wife has moved out of their apartment. Tracking her down to a swish West End pad, he gets drunk and wakes up to find her murdered – with his own gun.
