Before Shaolin Soccer, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Hero, there was The Storm Riders. Released in 1998, it was the most visually impressive, action packed film to ever come out of Hong Kong. Based on the hugely successful comic book, Storm Riders set the standard for future action wire-fu special effects movies not only in Hong Kong but around the world. It broke all box office records in its native land due to its exciting story, stellar cast, and impressive CG effects. Never before released in the United States in its original uncut form until now!
