Blood Brothers
Made at the peak of the martial arts film craze, "Blood Brothers" stands out against the run-of-the-mill kung-fu flicks that flooded the market in the 1970s. It would be hard to find more legendary names in front of and behind the camera: director Chang Cheh, who virtually reinvented the genre; the brilliant martial arts choreography by Liu Chia-liang, before he himself embarked on a directorial career; and the number one buddy team in kung-fu, Ti Lung and David Chiang, joined by Shaw Brothers newest superstar, Chen Kuan-tai. Set in the waning years of the Ching Dynasty, Blood Brothers tells of one of the most sensational scandals in Chinese history, the assassination of a provincial governor (Ti Lung) by his lieutenant and sworn brother (David Chiang). Ti Lung, in a complex role that allowed him to flex his thespian muscles, was honored with Golden Horse Award of Outstanding Performance.
Spooky Encounters
Skrytepaven Cheung skal imponere vennene sine etter et veddemål, med å overnatte i et hjemsøkt hus. Det han ikke vet er at kona hans har en affære med sjefen sin, og at de har lurt ham til spøkelseshuset for å bli tilintetgjort av en ond tryllekunstner som de har leid. Men før de overnaturlige kreftene settes i gang blir Cheung veiledet av en god trollmann som gir ham de mystiske Shaolin-kunnskapene som kreves for å bekjempe mørkets krefter.
The Tigress of Shaolin
Lo Chi, a selective writer/director/actor, both scripted and helmed this showcase for Hui Ying-hung, legendary director Chang Cheh’s discovery, and the protégé of equally legendary director Liu Chia-liang. In addition, he created a central role for Liu’s nephew, Liu Chia-yung. Both are engaging in this fast-paced, action packed comedy of kung-fu characters.
