Synopsis (from IVL):
This is Shaw Brothers' quintessential "huangmei opera" costume drama in all its Eastman Color glory. Based on a famous Sung Dynasty tale set during Emperor Jen Tsung's reign (AD 1023-1064), it tells the tale of two imperial concubines vying for the emperor's favor. Not exactly your typical family unit, but then again, this is not your typical Mandarin operetta. The script is co-written by the great Chang Cheh, before he found his niche as Shaw Brothers' most prolific kung-fu director.

- Extras:
- Trailers (original + new), picture gallery, poster art, behind the scenes pictures, biographies/filmographies, and production notes.
Synopsis (from IVL):
While many Westerners found The World of Suzie Wong intriguing, many Easterners were annoyed. This is the most obvious cinematic reaction, telling the more authentic tale of fisher girl turned to a bargirl Mei-li. Beautifully played by Patricia Ha Man-jik in her most famous role, she was nominated for Best Actress, while her co-star, Deanie Yip, essaying the lady gang boss, won the Best Supporting Actress in 1986 Hong Kong Film Awards. Look for "Anthony Perry" in his film debut. Under the name Anthony Wong he went on to multiple Best Actor awards.

Notorious Eight (1981)
- Letterboxed (2.35:1)
- Languages: Cantonese, Mandarin
- Subtitles: Chinese (Traditional), English, Bahasa (Malaysia), Bahasa (Indonesia)
- Coded for region 3
- Extras:
- Trailers (original + new), picture gallery, poster art, behind the scenes pictures, biographies/filmographies, and production notes.
Synopsis (from IVL):
Old style kung-fu films always had brothel, restaurant and of course gambling scenes. Gambling films became popular in the early 80s' so it made sense to have an intense poker game standoff between early good guy, kung-fu star Chen Kuan-tai versus early villain, kung-fu star Lo Lieh. The fists and cards really fly in Notorious Eight as Chen proves once again that "flushing" out the bad guys makes great box office sense.
