BLU-RAY INFO: Limited edition box set of 6,000 numbered units. VISA TO CANTON (Michael Carreras, 1961) THE PIRATES OF BLOOD RIVER (John Gilling, 1962) THE SCARLET BLADE (John Gilling, 1963) THE BRIGAND OF KANDAHAR (John Gilling, 1965) Hammer Volume Five: Death & Deceit collects four films from the early sixties which found Hammer Films looking beyond the horror genre for its next box-office success. Visa to Canton (1961, released in the US as Passport to China) is a torn-from-the-headlines spy thriller; The Pirates of Blood River (1962), starring Kerwin Mathews (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) and Christopher Lee (The Face of Fu Manchu), is a swashbuckling adventure; The Scarlet Blade (1963, released in the US as The Crimson Blade) is an English Civil War-set actioner which follows the fortunes of Cromwell’s Roundheads; and The Brigand of Kandahar (1965) takes Hammer to the North-West Frontier for an action-adventure starring Ronald Lewis (Taste of Fear) and Oliver Reed (The System). All four films are presented for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK, while Visa to Canton, The Scarlet Blade and The Brigand of Kandahar make their world Blu-ray premieres. This collection is strictly limited to 6,000 numbered units.
