Chen-Chi Lin
The Battle Wizard
A brother who loves books and a sister who loves swords must face a yellow-robed warrior, the Red Python: a sinuous snake-charmer, and a silk-masked beauty (who must kill or wed the first man to see her face) in this special, cliche-smashing production.
Life Gamble
Legendary director Chang Cheh was in a transitional period. The men he had made stars (Jimmy Wang Yu, Ti Lung, and David Chiang among them), had moved on to their own projects. Soon his new star, international idol Alexander Fu Sheng, would also look for other productions. So Chang used this opportunity to test the star power of some new talent, namely a Taiwanese Opera artist (Kuo Chui) and a powerful Chinese muscleman (Lo Mang) – who were soon to become the foundation for his internationally popular “Venom” series. Teaming the trio with the top supporting actors (Ku Feng and Wang Lung-wei) and the prettiest starlets (Lin Chun-chi, Shirley Yu, and Hui Ying-hung), he told an entertaining and exciting tale of a kung-fu blacksmith taking on four famous robbers while a villainous gambling boss plots to destroy them. The resulting thriller was another winner for the vaunted filmmaker.
Soul of the Sword
Famed actor Ti Lung plays a lone swordsman trying to defeat the "Number One Swordsman” as part of his vengeance package in life in 'Soul of the Sword'. He quickly learns however, that sometimes wanting is better than having.
The Spiritual Boxer
A con artist uses Kung Fu to swindle villagers for money by pretending to be possessed by angry gods. However, when the villagers are later threatened by bandits he must use the same skills for good.
