Byrotta Cheng (Bruce Lee) har en historie med trøbbel, men får lov til å reise til fetterne sine på landet for å jobbe på fabrikken deres, forutsatt at han ikke blir blandet opp i noe. Men når familien plutselig forsvinner, en etter en, har ikke Cheng noe annet valg enn å bryte løftet han har gitt.
Clan of Amazons
Following such hits as 'Killer Clans' and 'Clans of Intrigue', the winning team of director Chu Yuan and novelist Ku Lung reunite with revered martial art choreographers Tang Chia and Huang Pei-chi for an atmospheric, character-rich, action-packed adventure about a mysterious masked highwayman.
Revenge: A Love Story

Når den fåmælte butikkassistenten Kit Chan anholdes, avsløres et komplisert nett av intriger. Hvem er egentlig skyldig?
Human Lanterns

Some of the biggest stars in Hong Kong martial arts movies enter the twilight zone in this over-the-top bloodfest, with Lo Lieh as an insane swordsman who comes up with a unique way to avenge past humiliations.

He opens a lantern workshop with the lampshades made from the beautiful hides of his enemies’ sisters, courtesans, and wives. Liu Yung steps down from the Emperor roles that made him famous to play a deliciously evil bad guy, and Chen Kuan-Tai matches him in pride and power-lust. Lust of another kind is supplied by Tanny Tien Ni and Linda Chu, two ladies whose beautiful skin proves to be a most unwelcome asset. A rare entry in the horror-kung-fu genre, and one of Hong Kong’s most distinctive action films.
The Duel of the Century
For more than twenty-five years, Chu Yuan was famous as one of Hong Kong’s most respected directors of “Martial-art World” epics – often conceived by his remarkable collaborator, novelist Ku Lung. This was one of their last productions together for the Shaw Brothers Studio, but it’s another revenge and mystery-tinged winner. Liu Yung and Sun Chien team up to investigate the martial-art murders of a supposedly mortally wounded swordsman, only to find deception, double-dealings, imposters, and one deadly duel after another. No less than three choreographers are on hand to handle the multitude of martial arts, making this one of Chu Yuan’s most involving and exciting efforts ever.
Return of the Sentimental Swordsman
Many feel that this, one of the Shaw Studio’s biggest moneymakers, is one of those rare sequels which is superior to its original. In any case, the charming title hero is back in action, facing the Money Clan Chief for the fate of the “Martial Arts World”.
Invincible Enforcer
Cheng Kang had just made the internationally popular cult classic, Flying Guillotine 2, when he plunged into this social drama of police corruption. Liu Yung, co-star of every finished Bruce Lee film, plays a young man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Simply because he displeased a police inspector, he’s thrown into jail, where the warden is almost more dangerous than the inmates. But even when he’s released, the police persecute him until he has no choice but to become a real criminal. Only a kind and beautiful probation officer, played by Fanny, is on his side, but she’s not enough. Watch for such action favorites as Ai Fei (The Kung-fu Instructor) and Chen Kuan-tai (Man of Iron) in this hard-hitting drama, based on an actual investigation that linked second offenses to both the cops and crooks.
The Way of the Dragon
Tang Lung drar til Roma for å hjelpe sine slektninger når restauranten deres blir trakassert av et voldelig forbrytersyndikat. Vel på plass kan Tang avvæpne trusselen med sine mektige kung fu-egenskaper, men når gangsterlederen rekrutterer verdens fremste kampsportutøvere – fremfor alt amerikaneren Colt - settes Tangs geniale spark virkelig på prøve. Way of the Dragon var den eneste langfilmen Bruce Lee selv regisserte. Det avsluttende slagsmålet i Colosseums korridorer kickstartet Chuck Norris’ filmkarriere, og befestet Lees ry som den fremste i sitt felt.
The Big Boss
Bygutten Cheng har havnet i trøbbel før, men får lov å dra til sine søskenbarn på landet for å jobbe på fabrikken deres så lenge han ikke blir innblandet i noe. Når familien plutselig forsvinner én etter én, har Cheng ikke noe annet valg enn å bryte løftet sitt.

Pursuit of Vengeance
Master of the “swordplay thriller” genre, Chu Yuan and renowned kung-fu choreographer Tang Chia tell the fabulous tale of the “Fastest Swordsman in the World” facing the “1000 Face Devil” and no less than seven murderers.
Swordsman and Enchantress
Master kung-fu choreographer Tang Chia leads the king and queen of Shaw Brothers’ swordplay, Ti Lung and Lily Li, to the amazing "Deer Sword" and escape from the insidious maze-like "Toy Land".
Bastard Swordsman
Hsu Shao-chiang stars as a put-upon illegitimate son of a “Martial Arts World” master, who nearly sacrifices all to learn the “Silkworm Style” - making him a veritable “Spider-Swordsman”! That’s just the pay-off to this eye-filling, mind-bending kung-fu phantasmagorical which elicited cries of joyous disbelief in virtually all the cinemas where it was shown.
The Dragon Missile
Only the Shaw Brothers Studio could conceive and produce such a spectacular clash of esoteric weapons. Fans of the internationally popular "Flying Guillotine" films will appreciate the continuous kung-fu confrontations with some of the most intriguing and exciting martial arts machinery ever seen on screen. The studio’s first international action star, Lo Lieh (who burst upon the scene before even Bruce Lee in King Boxer) leads the charge as holder of the title tool - an ultra-cool flying boomerang with blades. He must take on the terrible Iron Ball Chain, Golden Net, and other deadly devices to gain control of a special elixir which will cure an all-too-treacherous royal official. Tang Chia and Yuen Cheung-yan, the underrated giants of kung-fu choreography, stage some of the best sword on shield action ever in this fun and unusual fight-fest. There are double crosses and ambushes galore before the culminating clash of sizzling steel that has to be seen to be believed.
