The Shadow Boxing | Blu-ray (88 Films)
RELEASE DATE: September 9, 2024
On September 9, 2024, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray for The Shadow Boxing (aka The Spiritual Boxer Part II), a 1979 Shaw Brothers kung fu movie directed by Lau Kar-leung (Eight Diagram Pole Fighter)
From the legendary Lau Kar-leung comes one of his finest – and wildest – rides, following a pair of very special undertakers who transport dead bodies by magical means. But their latest trip is proving tricky; it’s bad enough that a strong-willed young woman has invited herself along for the ride but, even more awkwardly, one of the corpses might not actually be dead…
Pretty much inventing the kung fu horror-comedy, and a huge influence on later films like Encounter of the Spooky Kind and Mr. Vampire, The Shadow Boxing stars Gordon Liu and features the sort of action only the great Lau could serve up.
The film also stars Wong Yu (Mercenaries from Hong Kong), Cecilia Wong Hang-Sau (Stranger from Shaolin), Lau Kar-Wing (Shatter), Lee Hoi-Sang (Bruce and the Iron Finger), Norman Tsui Siu-Keung (Seeding of a Ghost), Wilson Tong Wai-Shing (When Taekwondo Strikes) and Wong Ching-Ho (Chinatown Kid).
This title will soon be available at The Goodie Emporium, a U.S.-based online store that currently has many Import Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest/martial arts DVD/Blu-ray movies in-stock – with New titles being added regularly!
