Three pictures in one, this erotic, mystical top 5 hit of 1973 takes a trio of Chinese legends and brings them to the screen as only Li Han-hsiang -- the undisputed master of the Hong Kong costume epic - can. Tang Dynasty emperors, Ming Dynasty scholars, assorted fortunetellers, and several Buddhist monks (not to mention some of the sexiest ladies), combine to create a world where adultery, greed, and lust take center stage.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Music, Best Editing, Best Actress and special awards for outstanding performance, this sumptuous adaptation of a Chinese folk tale won them all. Glorious Betty Loh Ti stars as a beauty that disguises herself as a boy to get an otherwise forbidden education. This sort of pre-Yentl gender-bender role-playing is traditional when it comes to Chinese opera, yet there is nothing old fashioned about the superlative screen treatment given to this all-time classic.

This light-hearted action comedy hybrid - where crooks and cops work together to make a better Hong Kong -- was hailed for its British humor and Italian style as well as its unique Chinese flavor. In fact, the Hong Kong Movie News named it "one of the most hilarious comedies among the Mandarin productions in recent years." Enjoy the fast-moving and funny tale of a pretty pickpocket tangling with jewel heists, wallet snatchings, and a drug trafficking ring.

It's a sword hero tragedy directed by the critically acclaimed director Chang Cheh that plays like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, yet done 34 years earlier. It features bludgeoning action without special effects and rapid cuts that are used to make things look better than they are.
Young Lovers (1970)

Challenge Of The Gamesters (1981)

  • Coded for region 3
  • Extras:
    • Trailers (original + new), picture gallery, poster art, biographies/filmographies, and production notes.
Synopsis (from IVL):
A forerunner to the new wave gambling films, this is one of Wong Jing's first hits -- before he would go on to dominate Hong Kong cinema for the next two decades. Although rife with Japanese spies, Shanghai tycoons, beautiful starlets, and enough intrigue to keep 007 happy, Bond himself would be no match for the heroes' skill at mahjong and other games Hong Kong gamblers play -- proving that the cube is often mightier than the baccarat card.

Delinquent, The (1973)
  • Letterboxed (2.35:1)
  • Languages: Mandarin

  • Extras:
    • Trailers (original + new), picture gallery, poster art, biographies/filmographies, and production notes.
Synopsis (from IVL):
Legendary "heroic brother" movie Chang Cheh teams up the quintessential fight director Liu Chia-liang (a.k.a. Lau Kar Leung) to bring their brand of artistic yet violent nihilism to contemporary Hong Kong in The Delinquent. It's about non-caring man Shen Chang that only cares for a woman he works with and what he'll do to protect her. Shen is merely a modern version of Chang's vision of the dutiful yet lone swordsman who travels the countryside waiting to die in selfless honor.

Golden Buddha, The (1966)
  • Letterboxed (2.35:1)

  • Extras:
    • Trailers (original + new), picture gallery, poster art, biographies/filmographies, and production notes.
Synopsis (from IVL):
Hong Kong wanted its own 007, and Shaw Brothers gave it to them in this superspy thriller featuring not one Goldfinger, but three golden Buddhas. The late, lamented Hong Kong movie magazine Southern Screen declared: "The film is in the true Bond tradition, with beautiful girls, secret weapons, and a cunning foe." It also features a hidden treasure sought by a millionaire's daughter, who's thwarted at every turn by the evil Skeleton Gang. It adds up to plenty of campy fun.
