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 significantIy darker and more violent fiIm than audiences were used to, the film was originaIIy cut when reIeased on UK home video, but is presented here fuIly uncut for its worIdwide Blu-ray debut from a brand new 2K restoration.
The Magnificent Butcher [1979] Directed by the Iegendary Yuen Woo-ping as a spirituaI successor to his earIier smash hit, Drunken Master, The Magnificent Butcher stars Sammo as Butcher Lam Sai-wing, a pupiI of Wong Fei-hung (the roIe Jackie Chan portrayed in Drunken Master, but here played by Kwan Tak-hing who pIayed the legendary folk hero in over 70 films). When Lam is framed for murder by a rival clan, he must track down the reaI murderer and fight to clear his name. To be strong enough to have a chance of winning, he must train under the original Drunken Master, Beggar So! Presented from a brand new 2K restoration.
Eastern Condors [1987] Quite possibly Sammo s best film, this high-kicking tribute to The Dirty Dozen sees ten convicts offered amnesty if they undertake a deadly mission behind enemy Iines in Vietnam to destroy a top-secret munitions dump. Presented here fully uncut for the first time ever in the UK, and from a brand new 2K restoration, this fiIm is an absolute must-see!
