To Kill a Mastermind | Blu-ray (88 Films)
RELEASE DATE: September 9, 2024
On September 9, 2024, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray for To Kill a Mastermind, a 1979 Shaw Brothers kung fu movie directed by Sun Chung (The Deadly Breaking Sword).
The film stars Johnny Wang Lung-Wei (Eight Diagram Pole Fighter), Teng Wei-Hao (Crippled Avengers), Sek Gong (Kid with the Golden Arm), Yuen Wah (Kung Fu Vs. Acrobatic), Yuen Bun (Five Element Ninjas), Luo Sheng (The Kung-Fu Instructor), Luo Jun (Rendezvous with Death), Mang Ding-Goh (The Handcuff), Lau Wai-Ling (Bat Without Wings), Dick Wei (Final Run), and Ai Fei (Invincible Enforcer).
BE CAREFUL: no-one’s safe as long as the evil kung-fu masters of the Qi Sha clan terrorise the land. Can they be stopped? The authorities have placed a spy in their ranks, but the clan – and their mysterious, unknown leader – won’t go down without a fight. Or several…
Barely pausing to catch its breath between brawls, To Kill A Mastermind was produced by Hong Kong’s legendary Shaw Brothers studio and features the astounding acrobatics and mind-blowing martial arts skills that make their films so special. Long unavailable, and famously difficult to see, 88 Films are proud to present this essential rediscovery in a beautiful new Blu-ray edition.
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!
Watch a clip from the film (beware of spoilers):
Nice, will be adding to the collection!!!!
Me too
My favorite Shaw brothers, my favorite sun chung (sorry but this is better as Avenging Eagle).
Some of the camera movements, edits and blocking are way ahead of it’s time. Yuen Wah in the 4 way group fight is a good example.
Wow, that’s a pretty bold statement! Now I have to see this one as Eagle’ is top of my Shaw List. 🙂
