On January 26, 2026, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for The Delightful Forest, a 1972 Shaw Brothers classic from Chang Cheh (Shaolin Martial Arts) and co-director Pao Hsueh-li (The Eight Escorts).
A ferocious Shaw Brothers tale of honor, vengeance, and explosive retribution. Brimming with Chang Cheh’s trademark intensity, Ni Kuang’s sharp storytelling, and stunning action choreography by Lau Kar-Leung (Drunken Master II), The Delightful Forest delivers heroic bloodshed, loyalty, and pure Shaw Brothers spectacle at its finest.
After being imprisoned for avenging his family’s disgrace, legendary hero Wu Sung (Ti Lung) befriends a compassionate prison officer who spares him from certain death. When a corrupt thug known as “Door God” seizes his friend’s tavern, Wu vows to repay his debt — and restore justice — the only way he knows how: through unstoppable, bone-crunching combat.
