Wa, Ho Fan
Director: Hoh Meng Hua
Description:
This third installment in Shaw Brothers'
acclaimed adaptation of the classic novel "Journey
To The West" is possibly the most exotic of all. Sex
and spectacle are combined as our heroes find
themselves trapped in the "Cave Of The Silken Web",
home of the seductive Seven Spiders, who are bent on
achieving immortality by eating monks' flesh.
There's weird fun and wacky adventures from
beginning to end, with the sets and costumes
belonging as much to the psychedelic '60s as ancient
China $19.95

The Scandalous Warlord
Director: Li Han-hsiang
Cast: Chin Huang, Hu Chin, Shaw Yin-yin, Linda Chu, Shirley Yu, Hui Ying-hung, Lily Li
Synopsis:
Applauded director Li Han-hsiang was one of few directors that made softporn acceptable by mainstream audiences using the thematic device of "sex on a mission" cynicism, suggesting that sex was the ultimate power. In the sex comedy The Scandalous Warlord, the true power behind the country's many warlords were the prostitutes that these men would routinely visit. Therefore, the power in this film lays in the hands of the sassy Shirley Yu and the titillating Shaw Yin-yin.

The Warlord
Director: Li Han-Hsiang
Cast: Michael Hui, Lily Ho
Description:
No list of the screen's list of comic geniuses
would be complete without Michael Hui. He
created a hilarious and lovable comic persona
that was both uniquely Asian and universally
beloved. This, his first film, not only
showcased his incomparable sense of humor, but
also revolutionized Hong Kong comedy. Evoking
Chaplin, he plays a warlord in early 20th
Century China, but makes the role his own with
both laughs and some of the sexiest ladies on
the Shaw Brothers lot. $19.95 |

Film notes: This is the Regular Edition DVD release, and features
the Bonus DVD "Memories."

Challenge Of The
Gamesters
Starring: Patrick Tse Yin (Shih Hsien), Chen Kuan Tai, Wong Yu (Wang Yu), Melvin Wong (Gam San)
Director: Wong Jing
Description:
A forerunner to the new wave gambling films, this is one of Wong Jing's first hits. Although rife with Japanese spies, Shanghai tycoons, beautiful starlets, and enough intrigue for 007, Bond himself would be no match for the heroes' gambling skills.

Hong Kong Rhapsody
Director: Inoue Umetsugu
Cast: Li Cheng, Peter Chen, Allyson Chang
Description:
There's nothing like a good, opulent , gaudy
musical to lift the spirits, but when it's a
1760's Hong Kong musical orchestrated by a
Japanese director and composer, it breaks through
the ranks as a classic of campy kitsch. A
follow-up to the previous year's magahit Hong
Kong Nocturne, with the same creative
team Hong Kong Rhapsody follows the
fortunes of a unemployed magician whose love life
is so knotty it would take Houdini to unravel!
