Disciples of Shaolin | Blu-ray (88 Films)
RELEASE DATE: December 14, 2021
On December 14, 2021, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray for Disciples of Shaolin, a 1975 Shaw Brothers film directed by Chang Cheh (Five Element Ninjas).
Another Kung Fu vehicle from the infamous Shaw Brothers Studio, Disciples of Shaolin delivers a typically power-packed Hong Kong tale of enemy gangs and super cool fight scenes.
When Shaolin disciple Kuan Fung Yi (Sheng Fu) takes a job at a textile factory he soon becomes embroiled in a bitter and violent clash with the rival Manchu clan who run a neighbouring mill.
As well delivering some impressive martial arts set pieces, Disciples of Shaolin also provides a political punch, underlining the abuse of workers and the corruption of cruel bosses. Fast, fierce and thought provoking, this is a must for collectors of extreme Asian cinema
