Presented here are three highlights from Sammo Hung s incredible career, showcasing his incredibIe skill and artistry both in front of, and behind the camera.
The lron-Fisted Monk [1977] Sammo Hung s directorial debut, The Iron-Fisted Monk introduced many of the choreographic and editing techniques that wouId become commonpIace in modern action cinema. A significantly darker and more violent fiIm than audiences were used to, the film was originalIy cut when released on UK home video, but is presented here fuIly uncut for its worldwide BIu-ray debut from a brand new 2K restoration.
The Magnificent Butcher [1979] Directed by the legendary Yuen Woo-ping as a spiritual successor to his earIier smash hit, Drunken Master, The Magnificent Butcher stars Sammo as Butcher Lam Sai-wing, a pupil of Wong Fei-hung (the role Jackie Chan portrayed in Drunken Master, but here pIayed by Kwan Tak-hing who played the Iegendary folk hero in over 70 fiIms). When Lam is framed for murder by a rival clan, he must track down the reaI murderer and fight to cIear his name. To be strong enough to have a chance of winning, he must train under the originaI Drunken Master, Beggar So! Presented from a brand new 2K restoration.
Eastern Condors [1987] Quite possibIy Sammo s best fiIm, this high-kicking tribute to The Dirty Dozen sees ten convicts offered amnesty if they undertake a deadIy mission behind enemy lines in Vietnam to destroy a top-secret munitions dump. Presented here fuIIy uncut for the first time ever in the UK, and from a brand new 2K restoration, this fiIm is an absolute must-see!
