Arrow Video is a blessing to film and the time they take to restore and present the films of the past. SHAWSCOPE VOLUME ONE: LIMITED EDITION is no exception to the company’s releases and this is a great Christmas gift for anyone that appreciates action film classics.
The Shaw Brothers were known for their privately-owned studio that put out films that gained attention for indie spirit and quality not often seen out of the big Hollywood studios. This collection restores the twelve Shaw Brothers films and includes tons of never before seen features and a 60 page collector’s book. This is an amazing set for any collector.
The films in this collection is movie marathon material with KING BOXER, THE BOXER FROM SHANTUNG, FIVE SHAOLIN MASTERS, SHAOLIN TEMPLE, MIGHTY PEKING MAN, CHALLENGE OF THE MASTERS, EXECUTIONERS FROM SHAOLIN, CHINATOWN KID, FIVE DEADLY VENOMS, CRIPPLED AVENGERS, HEROES OF THE EAST and DIRTY HO. This is martial arts gold across the board.
This box set is a must own for any martial arts fan. If you haven’t seen films by the Shaw Brothers, this is your chance and it’s a limited edition. If you enjoy classic martial arts films and stars like Bruce Lee, this is right up your alley. This is a tremendous set that I cannot recommend enough. It’s perfect for one of those snowy weekend movie marathons. I can’t recommend it enough. Arrow Video once again knocked it out of the park.
