Official details:
A gonzo martial arts double feature from the vaults of the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA)!
Shaolin Invincibles – Wizards! Gorillas! Bloodsplurts! You’ve never seen a Taiwanese martial arts movie like this one. Two sword-wielding sisters seek revenge against the villains who murdered their family. But these are no ordinary villains—they’re wizards with giant, elasticized tongues who use black magic to control . . . kung fu gorillas! Starring the magnificent Judy Lee (Queen Boxer) and the fierce Carter Wong (Big Trouble in Little China), this supreme basher combines the electricity of a Super Nintendo game with exceptional fight choreography to deliver an otherworldly experience.
Seven to One – An earlier film from the director of Shaolin Invincibles, Seven to One finds Ting (martial arts whirlwind Polly Shang Kwan) on a revenge-fueled rampage following the murder of her father. Assisted by her rock star samurai boyfriend, Ting rages against all manner of street gangs and malcontents. This gonzo Taiwanese battle-epic is filled with non-stop fights, bootleg soundtrack cues, and incredible stunt work from the effervescent Kwan.
