Armed with stunning special features and ravishing new restorations, this boxset is even bigger and bolder than the last one. We begin with kung fu master Lau Karleungs classic The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, in which Gordon Liu achieved overnight stardom as the young man who finds enlightenment on the path to vengeance; Lau and Liu followed the original with two inventive sequels, Return to the 36th Chamber and Disciples of the 36th Chamber, both included here. A genius at blending dazzling action with physical comedy, Lau plays the lead role in the hilarious Mad Monkey Kung Fu, coupled here with Lo Mars Five Superfighters. Next, we once again meet Chang Chehs basher boy band the Venom Mob in four of their bestloved teamups: Invincible Shaolin, The Kid with the Golden Arm, Magnificent Ruffians and the allstar Ten Tigers of Kwangtung, costarring Ti Lung and Fu Sheng. After Lau brings us perhaps his best highkicking comedy with My Young Auntie, a playful star vehicle for his reallife muse Kara Hui, we see Shaw Brothers embracing 80s excess in our strangest double feature yet: Wong Jings breathtakingly wild shootem up Mercenaries from Hong Kong, and Kuei Chihhungs spectacularly unhinged black magic meltdown The Boxers Omen. Last but certainly not least, Lau Karleung directs the last major Shaw production, Martial Arts of Shaolin, filmed in mainland China with a hot new talent named Jet Li in the lead role; it is paired in this set with The Barefooted Kid, a reverent remake of a Chang Cheh classic with Johnnie To in the directors chair and Lau back on choreography duties, in arguably the ultimate filmed tribute to Shaws everlasting cinematic legacy.Specifications: Rating: Not Rated Number of Discs: 10 Run Time: 1415 minutesBonus Features: High Definition (1080p) Bluray presentations of all fourteen films, including nine new 2K restorations by Arrow Films;Illustrated 60page collectors book featuring new writing by David Desser, Jonathan Clements, Lovely Jon and David West, plus cast and crew listings and notes on each film by Simon Abrams;New artwork by Mike LeeGraham, Chris Malbon, Kagan McLeod, Colin Murdoch, Kung Fu Bob OBrien, Lucas Peverill, Ilan Sheady, Tony Stella, Darren Wheeling and Jolyon Yates;Hours of neverbeforeseen bonus features including several cast and crew interviews from the Fr�d�ric Ambroisine Video Archive;Two CDs of music from the De Wolfe Music library as heard in several of the films, exclusive to this collection;Disc 1: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin: Brand new 4K restoration by Celestial Pictures and LImmagine Ritrovata, Brand new feature commentary by critic Travis Crawford, Brand new selectscene commentary by film critic and historian Tony Rayns, Interview with star Gordon Liu, filmed in 2003, Interview with cinematographer Arthur Wong, filmed in 2006, Shaolin: Birthplace of a Hero and Elegant Trails, two archive featurettes with Gordon Liu produced by Celestial Pictures in 2003, Tiger Style: The Musical Impact of Martial Arts Cinema, a newly filmed overview of Shaw Brothers influence on hip hop and other music genres, featuring music historian Lovely Jon, Cinema Hong Kong: Swordfighting, the second installment in a threepart documentary produced by Celestial Pictures in 2003 and featuring interviews with Gordon Liu, Lau Karleung, Cheng Peipei, John Woo, Sammo Hung, Kara Hui, David Chiang and others, Alternate opening credits from the American version titled Master Killer, Hong Kong and German theatrical trailers, plus US TV spot, Image gallery;Disc Two: Return to the 36th Chamber / Disciples of the 36th Chamber: Interview with star Gordon Liu, filmed in 2003, Citizen Shaw, a French TV documentary from 1980 directed by Maurice Frydland, in which Sir Run Run Shaw gives an allaccess tour of the Shaw Brothers backlot (including behindthescenes footage from Return to the 36th Chamber), remastered in high definition, Hero on the Scaffolding, an archive featurette produced by Celestial Pictures in 2003, Alternate opening credits sequences for both films, Hong Kong theatrical trailers for both films, Image galleries for both films;Disc Three: Mad Monkey Kung Fu / Five Superfighters: Brand new 2K restorations of both films from the original negatives by Arrow Films, Brand new commentary for Mad Monkey Kung Fu by martial arts cinema experts Frank Djeng and Michael Worth, Newly filmed appreciation of Mad Monkey Kung Fu by film critic and historian Tony Rayns, Interview with actor Hsiao Hou, filmed in 2004, Shaw in the USA, a brand new featurette on how Shaw Brothers broke America featuring Grady Hendrix and Chris Poggiali, authors of These Fists Break Bricks, Hong Kong and US theatrical trailers for Mad Monkey Kung Fu, Hong Kong theatrical trailer and UK VHS promo for Five Superfighters, Image galleries for both films;Disc Four: Invincible Shaolin / The Kid with the Golden Arm: Brand new 2K restorations of both films from the original negatives by Arrow Films, Interview with action director Robert Tai, filmed in 2003, Poison Clan Rocks the World, a brand new visual essay on the Venom Mob written and narrated by author Terrence J.
