Hua Yueh
Come Drink With Me
Long before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" wowed the western world, "Come Drink With Me" set an entirely new standard for martial arts movies in the Far East. Director King Hu not only broke new ground but set the groundwork for all the action films that followed, including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". "Come Drink With Me" tells the story of a mysterious swordswoman nicknamed “Golden Swallow”, and the even more mysterious swordsman, “Beggar”. They join forces to free a kidnapped official from a Buddhist monastery run by a corrupt abbot with incredible kung-fu powers. But the real attention-getters are the ingeniously staged action scenes and a cast of characters that looks as cool today as when the film burst upon the cinema scene in 1966.

The Web of Death
It’s back to the Shaolin Monastery for one of the most unusual action-packed tales to invade its hallowed halls. Lo Lieh is the ringleader of the Snake Sect, intent on reviving a particularly deadly faction known as the “Five Poison Web” (which is also "The Web Of Death"’s Chinese title). To achieve his ends, he has an affair with the sexy ringleader of the Scorpion Sect, Angela Yu Chien. But there is also the Centipede Sect to contend with, as well as other assorted martial artists, among them such top Shaw Brothers talents as Yueh Hua, Ching Li, and Lily Li. Under the fluid direction of Chu Yuan and action choreographers Tang Chia and Yuen Cheung-yan (member of the martial arts world’s esteemed Yuen Family and brother of "Matrix" master Yuen Woo-ping), "The Web Of Death" goes places where no other Shaolin kung-fu movie has gone before or since.

The Vengeful Beauty
Of all the many kinds of films Ho Meng-Hua directed for the Shaw Brothers, quite possibly his most internationally popular was The Flying Guillotine. While he did not direct its like-titled sequel, he did helm this great flying guillotine follow-up, which critics considered among his best. It was also one of his last for the studio before continuing his filmmaking career in Taiwan. It stars the gorgeous Chen Ping as the sole survivor of a despotic emperor’s latest foray into decapitation. Fearlessly she takes on the entire flying guillotine gang, despite the fact that she’s pregnant! Lo Lieh, Shaw Brothers’ first international superstar, is brilliant as the vindictive gang boss, while revered action choreographer Tang Chia mounts stupendous battles between the soaring beheaders and an astonishing wushu woman warrior with child.
