Disciples Of Shaolin (US Import)

Another Kung Fu vehicle from the infamous Shaw Brothers Studio, DISCIPLES OF SHAOLIN AKA Hong quan xiao zi, delivers a typically power-packed Hong Kong tale of enemy gangs and super cool fight scenes. When shaolin disciple Kuan Fung Yi (Sheng Fu) takes a job at a textile factory he soon becomes embroiled in a bitter and violent clash with the rival Manchu clan who run a neighbouring mill. As well delivering some impressive martial arts set pieces, Disciples of Shaolin also provides a political punch, underlining the abuse of workers and the corruption of cruel bosses. Fast, fierce and thought provoking, this is a must for collectors of extreme Asian cinema.Audio Commentary by Critic and Author Samm DeighanAudio Commentary by Mike Leeder and Arne VenemaInterview with Shaw Bros Actor and Acclaimed Director Jamie LukTheatrical TrailerIncludes First Run Slipcase, Booklet and Poster
