In the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Film Studio in Hong Kong produced some of the most iconic action movies in history, and through the hard work of top talents, this genre was completely changed. Arrow Video’s new limited-edition Blu-ray set showcases the 12 jewels of Xiao Guan, all released in the 1970s-below are all the games included in the deluxe release, including Kung Fu Killer, Crazy Monster Piracy and Cultural Clash Comedy .

This is the legendary action actor who set off the kung fu movie boom in the UK. This iconic martial arts movie is led by the firm listing of the Shaw Brothers, with excellent combat arrangement and exquisite setting, and it looks absolutely stunning on Blu-ray.

Luo plays a kung fu student, eager to please his master and defend the honor of the martial arts school. There are a lot of wonderful fighting scenes, sometimes very violent during this time, and some jaw-dropping moments that you must witness to believe.

This can be said to be the best martial arts film directed by Zhang Che-an action visual feast, and one of the most influential works of Shaw Studios. The martial arts are rich in content, but they don't just fight for battle. The complexity and mystery of the movie is well balanced with the Kung Fu action. To connoisseurs of Shaw Brothers movies, the name is well-known, the film’s production value is exemplary-this is the best state of true old-school kung fu.

This is a rare early martial arts movie far from ancient China. It is set in Shanghai in the 1920s and tells the classic story of the rise and fall of a man in the underworld. Gang fights are bloody, and it is fun to use the axe in the above sequence of actions. Chen Kuantai performed well, and Zhang Han, his loyal friend and servant, also performed well. The real villain in the movie, the "Big Four Champions" did not disappoint. The icing on the cake was the 3-minute ending revenge battle, and director Chand Cheh was truly eye-opening. You will shrink when you look at it. This is a great orgasm.

This Shaolin story, directed by Zhang Che, brings together the five top martial arts heroes of the Shaw Brothers: Alexander Fu Sheng, Chi Guanchun, David Jiang, Tyrone and Meng Fei. This great lineup of Chinese martial arts legends means a steady stream of amazing kung fu moves, making it even better than the lower budget Shaolin movies released around 1973.

This is a kung fu action comedy directed by Liu Jialiang, led by Thunder and Wang Yue as the protagonist. This is a great martial arts team movie that tells the story of the prince and the thief joining forces to thwart the assassination attempt on Ray Gordon's life. The first half of the movie is mainly comedy-things become more serious in the second half, and the real martial arts team is at its best. This is a kung fu team battle feast with epic martial arts performances brought by two leading actors.

The hidden martial arts treasure in the Shaw Brothers movie Stables, directed by Liu Jialiang. The movie opens with a Chinese romantic comedy with martial arts as the background. However, persevere, and it will become a full-scale battle with the theme of honor, respect and understanding between Chinese and Japanese cultures. Gordon Lui and Yuka Mizuno starred in this outstanding martial arts classic.

Chang Cheh directed this fast-paced action film, mainly set in San Francisco in the 1970s. This film is a good show of the talent of the late Hong Kong martial arts star Alexander Fu Sheng, whose comedy and kung fu are reminiscent of Jackie Chan. The theme of this movie is the rise and fall of gangs, including all five actors who were ultimately called the "Five Poisons".

This gift is Shaw's director Zhang Che's closest approach to making a real martial arts epic. The film mainly tells the training of a group of enthusiastic and determined students who knelt outside the temple gate for several days waiting to join the monks. The movie ended with a fierce battle. All the actors were caught in countless battles. The entire Shaw studio was shot, overlooking Clearwater Bay. This is a masterpiece of choreography, action and storytelling by a major director of this genre. Two words say it all: ultimate entertainment.

Among all the directors of Shaw Brothers, Liu Jialiang goes hand in hand with great men. He took this martial arts adventure on a path that was more complicated and unexpected than normal, and played against the major stars of this era. Liu Jiadeng played Huang Feihong. Although he had a comedic role at the beginning, when he went to the master to train, this movie expanded his martial arts repertoire and the effect was very good. Gordon and Mr. Chen Guantai cooperate very well, and their fighting/sparring is very good.

Director Liu Jialiang’s second help allowed him to see some carefully choreographed martial arts action scenes. A lot of screen time is spent on Chen Guantai's hard training of "tiger-style" kung fu, the Iron Man-shaped training tool, projecting ball bearings to help defeat the villain in the movie. The villain in question is played by the late and great Luo Lie. He is a strange white-haired monk with special physical strength that can prevent him from being harmed. This is a great example of old-fashioned Kung Fu, with tastes of all genres, and a must-have for any martial arts connoisseur.

A strange work by Shaw Brothers seems to be a great success using the Hollywood-made King Kong. This is just a funny monster movie-constant madness, a lot of explosions and fires, and of course a beautiful girl in distress. In addition, a large number of cars, buildings and people in his way were destroyed. The model miniature works are very spectacular. Fast, fun and fun-you will get real enjoyment.

Another Kung Fu work by director Zhang Che, including all the protagonists in "The Five Poisons", was shown in the form of "The Return of the Five Poisons" in some countries. It actually has no connection with its predecessor, but stands on its own merits, showing that a person has a disability does not mean that you cannot overcome difficulties and defeat your enemies. In addition to the wonderful bloody action and the amazing martial arts skills, the plot of this movie is also very intense, giving martial arts fans an absolutely solid viewing experience.
