Official details:
Although his name may not be as instantly recognisable as some of his contemporaries, Joseph Kuo was an incredibly successful filmmaker who consistently produced crowd-pleasing spectacles always in line with what audiences at the time wanted to see. Fearless Shaolin! collects four action-packed Joseph Kuo titles; Shaolin Kung Fu, The Shaolin Kids, 18 Bronzemen, and Return of the 18 Bronzemen
In Shaolin Kung Fu, a young rickshaw driver uses his lethal martial arts skills to cut a path of bloody revenge when criminals target his family. And in The Shaolin Kids, a ruthless premiere assassinates a political rival, and must face the wrath of his deadly daughter
Before students can leave the Shaolin temple, they must face a series of challenges and defeat the Shaolin Bronzemen, deadly fighters—some wielding weapons, others heavily armoured—who destroy anyone who crosses their path.
