Introducing 88 Films' standard Blu-ray release for the 1991 Hong Kong action film, Black Cat. Director Steven Shin (Brotherhood) initially intended to make a straight-up remake of Luc Besson’s La Femme Nikita, 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. 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.
