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 Shadow Whip
This top ten box office hit reunites the star duo from “Come Drink With Me” in another classic tale of action and intrigue. Cheng Pei-Pei (a quarter-century before gaining Hollywood fame as the villainess of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) radiates grace and beauty while wielding the deadly “shadow whip.” The weapon is almost as major a character as Cheng, implicated as it is in multiple murders, a major heist, and an enigmatic mystery that sets in motion a pursuit by both good and evil knights. Cheng finds herself in the eye of the storm, and whether single-handedly fighting sixteen bandits or avenging her father’s brutal end, she demonstrates why she was Hong Kong cinema’s number one swordswoman - and no slouch when it came to the whip!

The Flying Dagger
“Godfather of the kung-fu film” Chang Cheh, is famous for introducing the revolutionary concept of “yanggang” (macho) martial arts movies – paving the way for Bruce Lee, among many others. Until then, female stars (often in male swordsmen roles) ruled the screens. So this collaboration between writer/director Chang and swordswoman supreme Cheng Pei-Pei (now famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is exceptional indeed. Here she plays a righteous woman warrior who incurs the wrath of a “flying knife” master after she kills his rapist son. Lucky for her that an honorable dagger master played by Lo Lieh (the star of Shaw Brothers’ first international kung-fu hit King Boxer) is on her side. Although extremely attractive when she only played heroes, Cheng could hold her own with any man, freeing Chang to create the best of all possible martial arts worlds.
