Good news for old school martial arts fans! Well Go USA has announced two more additions to their Sword Masters series (Well Go’s own line of classic Shaw Brothers titles):
The first is 1979’s The Shadow Boxing (aka The Spiritual Boxer 2), not to be confused with 1974’s The Shadow Boxer, which was also released by Well Go USA in 2009. Directed by Lau Kar Leung, this kung fu “comedy” stars Wong Yu, Gordon Liu Chia Hui and Lau Kar Wing; The second is Chang Cheh’s Trail of the Broken Blade. This 1967 classic stars Jimmy Wang Yu, Chin Ping, Kiu Chong, Lisa Chiao Chiao and Wu Ma.
You can now pre-order both titles, which will be released on December 9th, 2014.
Trail of the Broken Blade doesn’t have much action, it’s more of a story movie kind of slow and boring. Don’t expect much action with this one. I will probably get the other one tho, no dubs on them either.
