Actually you will find the fighting quite different, and far more intriquite than that of any Venom's film. As is the plot and the entire production for that matter (weaponry, sets, costumes, etc). You'll find it more akin to films like AVENGING EAGLE, RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH, HUMAN LANTERN, THE DEADLY BREAKING SWORD, THE PROUD YOUTH and JUDGEMENT OF AN ASSASSIN. That's because the same production team that brought you those unique masterpieces is back at the helm here. I'm referring to none other than Director extraordinare Sun Chung, and his go to Master Choreographer Tang Chia. I'd be remise if I didn't give an honorable mention to Tang's ever present assistant choreographer, the mighty Huang Pei Chi. This is by far Sun's most ambitious project because it doesn't rely on any known major Stars to carry it. In fact, the main ensemble consists of a who's who of background villains and supporting actors from various Shaw Bros productions. What also sets this film apart from any others that come to mind is that you don't know who the Good guy/Star is until the very end! Or who the "Mastermind" is until the end as well! A Super Duper superb film from my personal favorite director. With standout performances across the board! It'll have you even feeling sorry for some of the bad guys, the way they meet their demises and all. Yuen Wah (Bruce Lee's acrobatic double) is finally allowed to showcase his outstanding skills in a Shaw Bros setting. Too often his talents had been constrained in their films. But the entire production seems to have been made to showcase the suppressed talents of the background actors, who had to downplay their skills in order to make the lead players shine. No other film has done this, at least to this extent! This film along with the Shaw Bros production of THUNDERCLAP has been very long awaited to be seen in WS clarity, and with ledgeable subtitles. The first and only version available for decades to hardcore Shaw Bros film fans, was a lousy, blurry camrecording on VHS 📼 with no subtitles. They were completely cut off at the bottom. Then came a far better version on on DVD, that still left a lot to be desired in terms of picture quality and accurate subtitles. Wouldn't you know that not long before this release, some "Fan made" specialists put out the best version to date. It has very good picture quality and more accurate subtitles. But this 88films release is the one we've been waiting for! BTW, the Chinese characters on the original poster reads, Chi Sha. The same name as the villainous gang in KID WITH A GOLDEN ARM. Now if we can just get THUNDERCLAP released...🤞😎👍 ✌️😎👍📺📼📹📽️🎥🎞️🎬🎭
@@superg50zero32 You're very welcome and thank you very much for your podcast! You're definitely in for a treat! It's the Godfather of Wu Xia films. Meaning that it must be watched multiple times, because little details will be missed initially. And you will discover something new that you missed each time you watch it again. It's a true classic in every sense of the word. And a great murder mystery that keeps you intrigued from beginning to end! Enjoy pal! ✌️😎👍🙏☯️🌊 All of the other films that I mentioned are classic must sees as well! Sun always makes sure that the martial arts in his films are top notch! And that his plots are deep.
It’s cool that you were able to get the limited edition. I got the standard 4K edition. This came out so much earlier than expected. I remember getting my copy at the end of August. I was really surprised.
@@peladan418 I'm still on a budget. Every few months I do sell some of my collection, movies I know I'm not going to watch again because it was a blind buy or I have the better 4K transfer and sell the old releases for store credit. Thanks for watching.
I got torso 4k with the slip. I also reversed the cover art. Great job by arrow on the transfer. Definately a bump up in quality over the shameless release. A bit dissapoihting arrow only gave us the one disk with everything on it. Usually a bluray is also included. But i might keep my shameless copy
