What a brilliant compilation this is. I know Shaw Brothers have done hundreds of films and this is only the tip of the iceberg, but as a compilation this is top tier! Arrow did a great job on these. The transfers are excellent, plenty of extras, and the packaging looks fantastic too.
This one had it all for me. Incredible fight scenes, awesome villain, mixture of styles, great dialogue on the English dub, and a genuine heart at the centre of it all. Looking forward to watching its sequel, Clan of the White Lotus, which I’ve just ordered off eBay 😍
Watched this for the first time yesterday, and I have to say it’s straight into my top 5 martial arts movies of all time! The dramatic intensity and the incredible choreography all come together to deliver the best final 15 minutes of material arts cinema I think I’ve ever seen.
Any fans out there?
