Shawscope Volume 3 Shaw Brothers Bros III Vol Blu-ray Arrow Kung Fu One Armed

Description: Arrow's long-awaited Shawscope Vol. 3 is FINALLY HERE! Introducing Arrow's 10-Disc Limited Edition Blu-ray release for Shawscope Vol. 3, which includes the following 14 films: The One-Armed Swordsman, The Return of the One-Armed Swordsman, The New One-Armed Swordsman, The Lady Hermit Intimate, Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan, The 14 Amazons, The Magic Blade, Clans of Intrigue, Jade Tiger, Killer Constable, The Avenging Eagle, The Buddha’s Palm, The Bastard Swordsman and The Sentimental Swordsman. Before Hong Kong's mightiest film studio mastered the art of the kung fu film, Shaw Brothers hit box office gold with a very different kind of martial arts cinema, one that channelled the blood-soaked widescreen violence of Japanese samurai epics and Italian spaghetti westerns into a uniquely Chinese form: the wuxia pian. With their enthralling tales drawn from historical myth and legend of sword-wielding (and often gravity-defying) noble heroes, the wuxia films housed in this next instalment of Arrow Video's best-selling Shawscope series demonstrate the sweeping stylistic evolution of the genre, from the righteous stoicism of the late-60s Mandarin period, right through to the wild-and-weird anarchism of the early-80s Cantonese explosion.100% Brand New and Factory SealedPacked with extra CARE with USPS Priority Mail serviceDiscount/combined shipping if multiple items are ordered =)Photos in gallery is a sample of our actual in-stock itemShips from Las Vegas, USALimited Edition Features:High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentations of all fourteen films, including thirteen new 2K restorations by Arrow Films from the original negatives, and a new 4K restoration of One-Armed Swordsman by Celestial Pictures Original uncompressed Mandarin mono, plus Cantonese and/or English (where applicable) lossless mono options Newly translated English subtitles for each filmIllustrated 60-page collectors' booklet featuring new writing by David West, Jonathan Clements and Dylan Cheung, plus cast and crew listings and notes on each film by Ian Jane New artwork by Tony Stella, Ilan Sheady, Tom Ralston, Jolyon Yates, Kung Fu Bob and Chris MalbonHours of illuminating bonus features, including feature commentaries on each film, several cast-and-crew interviews from the Frédéric Ambroisine Video Archive, and the rare alternate Korean cut of Killer ConstableExclusive CD of music from the De Wolfe Music Library, as heard in The Avenging Eagle and other Shaw Brothers classicsDISC ONE -
