The Lady Assassin | Blu-ray (88 Films)
Now available is 88 Films’ Blu-ray (Region A/B) for The Lady Assassin, a 1983 Shaw Brothers martial arts actioner from director Tony Lou Chun-Ku (The Holy Virgin Versus the Evil Dead).

From Hong Kong’s legendary Shaw Brothers studio comes a blood-drenched story of ninjas, eunuchs and dark palace intrigue: the old emperor is on his last legs, and his most ambitious and amoral son plots to cheat his way to the throne. But taking power is the easy bit. Staying on top will prove much more difficult…
Based on a particularly infamous chapter of Chinese history, The Lady Assassin mixes pageantry with some of the most awesome sword fights in any Shaw Brothers film – and that’s really saying something. 88 Films are proud to present this classic of swords and scheming for the first time in the UK on Blu-ray.
