Kid from Kwangtung | Blu-ray (88 Films)
RELEASE DATE: October 28, 2024
On October 28, 2024, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region A/B) for Kid From Kwangtung, a 1982 Shaw Brothers kung fu comedy from director Hsu Hsia (Crystal Hunt, Thunder Run).
From the legendary Shaw Brothers Studio, here’s something a bit funnier than their usual fare: after an evil martial arts master, played by the very great Hwang Jang-li (Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow), kills their own teacher, Wong Yu (Executioners from Shaolin) and Chiang Kam (The Young Master) realize that they’re next. But can the squabbling duo put their differences aside long enough to defeat him?
With spirited slapstick, supernatural silliness and some jaw-dropping fights that really have to be seen to be believed, Kid From Kwangtung is gravity-defying treat from the glory days of Hong Kong cinema. 88 Films are proud to unleash this classic kung fu comedy on Blu-ray.

Its interesting how places get named in Shaw Bros movies. Kwangtung insead of Guangdong. Peking instead of Beijing. Shaw using the Englishfied Cantonese names instead of Mandarin i guess cos they were anti CCP at the time
