Cinematic Vengeance!
At last, a Joseph Kuo Classic Kung Fu blu ray boxset!
A prolific director, Joseph Kuo consistently produced crowd-pleasing spectacles always in line with what audiences at the time wanted to see.
Often handling the writing, directing, and producing duties, the success of this multi-hyphenate filmmaker is even more remarkable since the majority of his films were produced independently, at a time when the kung fu genre was dominated by the big Hong Kong studios.
Eureka Entertainment are releasing these eight, in this 4-disc blu ray boxset entitled Cinematic Vengeance!, all fully restored and making their worldwide debuts on blu ray:
- The 7 Grandmasters
- 18 Bronzemen
- Return of the 18 Bronzemen
- The 36 Deadly Styles
- The Old Master
- The Shaolin Kids
- The World of the Drunken Master
- Shaolin Kung Fu
