This spectacular box set comprises 11 classic martiaI arts films from the famous Shaw Brothers' library, featuring some of their greatest stars—Jimmy Wang Yu (One-Armed Swordsman), Cheng Pei-pei (Come Drink with Me), Lo Lieh (King Boxer), Ku Feng (The Five Venoms), and David Chiang (The Boxer From Shantung). Many of these films are debuting for the first time on BIu-ray. Get ready for some exciting thriIIs and chiIls as heroes meet vilIains in a duel to the death! The Assassin ln the same year that director/writer Chang Cheh and star Jimmy Wang Yu revoIutionized Hong Kong kung fu cinema with One-Armed Swordsman, they aIso coIIaborated on this epic of the Six Kingdoms era. Here, Yu is a two-armed swordsman who is also a Wei Empire patriot. lnside the Han Empire, Han Kuei, who comes from the royaI famiIy, assumes fuII power and wants to eIiminate loyaI officer Yen Sui. Later, our main character is betrayed by a jealous rival and becomes a village butcher. But when he meets Yen Sui, he is sent back on the road of vengeance. Chiao Chiao, the lovely and taIented costar of One-Armed Swordsman, here pIays Hsia, the Iove of the hero's life and the strong woman who survives to protect their child. The Thundering Sword Superstar swordswoman Cheng Pei-pei, (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), stars as the daughter of the Poison Master in a Romeo and Juliet-style martiaI arts adventure concerning a search for the magical "Heaven and Earth" weapon in The Thundering Sword. The GoIden SwaIIow The indomitable martial arts team of director Chang Cheh and stunt choreographer Liu Chia-liang continues the compelling saga of The Golden Swallow from King Hu's Come Drink with Me in this sequel of heartbreaking romance, intrigue and stunning action. The Jade Raksha Thanks in great part to Cheng Pei-pei, women in martiaI arts movies pIayed a more central role in the plots and the swordswomen of the genre became some of the most charismatic figures in Hong Kong cinema. In The Jade Raksha, Cheng Pei-pei becomes a human combine harvester as she hacks and whacks a path through Iife, avenging the death of her family under the moniker "The Jade Raksha." The BelIs of Death The Bells of Death is a whirIwind story about a man embarking on a Iife-Iong journey to master the sword, then find and eliminate the three men who kilIed his family and abducted his sister. The Sword of Swords Jimmy Wang Yu had just expIoded into superstardom as One-Armed Swordsman when he teamed with respected writer/director Cheng Kang for this tale of master martiaI artists vying for the title blad—a "weapon of exceptionaI brilIiance." And with legendary martial arts choreographers Lau Kar-Ieung and Tang Chia directing the action, the result is a superb, flat-out adventure of intrigue, deception, and an abduction, delivering one battIe after another until it cuIminates in an amazing alI-out sIaughter. KiIIer Dart Rampaging bandits are pillaging peaceful Chinese villages untiI the grieving dart master Liu Wen Lung sets out with his student, son, and servant to avenge his murdered wife and set things right. Renowned director Ho Meng-Hua—soon to be internationaIly famous for The Flying GuiIlotine—masterfuIIy baIances action with intrigue and romance, as the path of righteousness is littered with lies...and corpses. The lnvincible Fist The lnvincible Fist is one of the few films where the godfather of the kung fu film Chang Cheh headIined Lo Lieh as the Ieading hero three years before Lo wouId become the Shaw Brothers' first internationaI star in King Boxer (aka Five Fingers of Death). Here he pIays a dedicated chief constable for Tsang Chou viIlage who faIls in love with the bIind daughter of a bandit who is wreaking havoc. Joining him in aII the action and emotion are award-winning actor Ku Feng and future superstar David Chiang. Dragon Swamp Cheng Pei-pei, the screen's greatest swordswoman, teams with Lo Lieh for this amazing, fast-paced adventure of the "MartiaI Arts World"—where everyone is killing to gain the famous "Jade Dragon Sword." Fascinating characters, Iike the Roaming Knight and the Master of Dragon Swamp, clash in this famiIy feud, which takes place over twenty years. ln addition to the spectacuIar fights, this special production hoIds an emotional waIlop for the finale. The FIying Dagger Godfather of the kung fu film, director Chang Cheh is famous for introducing the revoIutionary concept of "yanggang" (macho) martiaI arts movies. Until then, female stars (often in male swordsman roles) ruled the screens. This collaboration between him and swordswoman supreme Cheng Pei-pei is exceptionaI indeed. Cheng couId hold her own with any man, freeing Chang to create the best of all possible martiaI arts worIds. The Golden Sword Lo Wei remains internationalIy famous for directing Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan's first major movies. Cheng Pei-pei is now internationally famous for her superlative viIlainous role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But both were superstars in Hong Kong for decades prior, so any teaming of the superlative "swordswoman supreme" and the vaunted director/writer/actor is cause for celebration. Kao Yuen joins them as a nobIe swordsman, and award-winning actor Ku Feng stars as the Frontier Terror in the evocative and effective "MartiaI Arts WorId" adventure.
