Shaw Brothers Classic film fully restored from
the original film.
2 discs boxset Including :-
1. Bastard Swordsman (Shaw Brothers) (1978)
Actor Lu Chun-ku really hit his stride as a
director of mystical kung-fu epics, like Holy
Flame Of The Martial World, and this truly one
of the best of its kind. Hsu Shao-chiang stars
as a put-upon illegitimate son of a "Martial
Arts World" master, who nearly sacrifices all
to learn the "Silkworm Style" making him a
veritable "Spider-Swordsman"! That's just the
pay-off to this eye-filling, mind-bending kung-
fu phantasmagorical which elicited cries of
joyous disbelief in virtually all the cinemas
where it was shown. Featuring a top notch cast
including "Venoms" Lo Meng, Sun Chien, and Wang
Li, this extravaganza truly warrants the
description: "unforgettable."
2. Return of Bastard Swordsman (Shaw
Brothers) (1984)
Just when audiences thought the director
couldn't get more spectacular and outrageous,
he unleashed this eye-filling, mind-bending
"Martial Arts World" sequel of clan rivalries,
ninja atrocities, wizard sorceries, and the
mythical Silkworm style that changes our hero
into a veritable Spider-swordsman. The screen
practically explodes with colorful characters
and kung-fu -- all directed, co-written, and
co-choreographed by Lu Chun-ku, and showcasing
some of the best Shaw Brothers action stars.
The original Bastard Swordsman was just the
beginning, this superlative cult classic that
out-phantasmagoricals the original.
