The Black Panther of Shaolin | Blu-ray (AGFA)
On September 30, 2025, AGFA is releasing a Blu-ray for Ernesto Ventura’s The Black Panther of Shaolin (aka Bamboo Trap), a 1975 martial arts actioner starring Leo Fong (Low Blow), Ron Van Clief (Fist of Fear, Touch of Death) and George Estregan (Pepeng Shotgun).
This release also includes 1973’s The Black Six and Martial Arts Mayhem Volumes 1-3. Read the official details below:
A skull-smashing double feature from the AGFA grindhouse! Once lost and never legitimately released on home video, The Black Panther of Shaolin is a Filipino knockout that finds martial arts legends Ron Van Clief and Leo Fong locked in mortal combat with a gang of kidnappers.
From there, The Black Six — directed by Matt Cimber (GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) and one of the first all-Black biker movies—tells the story of a motorcycle club (led by NFL stars Gene Washington, “Mean Joe” Greene, and more) that seeks revenge against white supremacists. But the action doesn’t stop there.
The second disc of this bone-cracking collection features all three volumes of Martial Arts Mayhem — the beloved eye-gouging, gut-kicking VHS trailer compilation series from Something Weird Video.
