The iconic OneArmed Swordsman trilogy, directed between 1967 and 1971 by wuxia cinema godfather Chang Cheh, made household names of stars Jimmy Wang Yu and David Chiang and set the template for many of films to come. Contrary to Changs tales of loyal brotherhood, many wuxia films focused on female protagonists, three very different examples of which we see next: Ho Menghuas Lady Hermit, with the great Cheng Peipei (Come Drink with Me) as a virtuous swordswoman called upon to stop a vicious warlord; Chor Yuens scandalous Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan in which the titular lady of the night masters every deadly skill she can to get revenge on those who enslaved her; and Cheng Kangs allstar epic The 14 Amazons, in which Shaws finest starlets play the reallife women of the Yang dynasty, avenging their fallen menfolk in battle. Next, Chor Yuen adapted several beloved novels by consummate wuxia storyteller Gu Long to the big screen, four of which are collected here: The Magic Blade, Clans of Intrigue, Jade Tiger and The Sentimental Swordsman, all starring the redoubtable Ti Lung. As kung fu overtook wuxia at the box office, the genre evolved into unexpected new directions, with its chivalrous knightserrant replaced by conflicted antiheroes, as seen in Sun Chungs breathlessly exciting The Avenging Eagle and Boxers Omen goremeister Kuei Chihhungs fatalistic masterpiece Killer Constable. Finally, just when it seemed the wuxia film had nowhere left to turn, Eighties excess reigned supreme in the specialeffectssoaked, fourthwallbreaking fantastical delights of Taylor Wongs Buddhas Palm and Lu Chunkus Bastard Swordsman.Specifications: Rating: Not Rated Number of Discs: 10 Run Time: 1444 minutesBonus Features: High Definition (1080p) Bluray presentations of all fourteen films, including thirteen new 2K restorations by Arrow Films from the original negatives, and a new 4K restoration of OneArmed Swordsman by Celestial Pictures;Original uncompressed Mandarin mono, plus Cantonese and/or English (where applicable) lossless mono options;Newly translated English subtitles for each film;Illustrated 60page collectors booklet featuring new writing by David West, Jonathan Clements and Dylan Cheung, plus cast and crew listings and notes on each film by Ian Jane;New artwork by Tony Stella, Ilan Sheady, Tom Ralston, Jolyon Yates, Kung Fu Bob and Chris Malbon;Hours of illuminating bonus features, including feature commentaries on each film, several castandcrew interviews from the Frederic Ambroisine Video Archive, and the rare alternate Korean cut of Killer Constable;Exclusive CD of music from the De Wolfe Music Library, as heard in The Avenging Eagle and other Shaw Brothers classics Every item is in stock at our warehouse and ships the next business day.We guarantee your orders safe arrival, and will replace any lost, damaged, or defective item.Within the USA: We offer US Postal Service delivery, with tracking (delivery confirmation).
