The Story
Two of Shaw Brothers Studio’s most compelling and underrated revenge tales.
Presented here are two of the studio’s most interesting and underrated takes on the revenge story: THE EUNUCH (1971) and THE DEADLY KNIVES (1972) (aka FISTS OF VENGEANCE).
A wuxia pian written by the legendary Lo Wei (FIST OF FURY) and directed by Teddy Yip (THE BLACK TAVERN), THE EUNUCH begins as the eponymous eunuch Gui De-hai (Pai Ying, THE VALIANT ONES) survives an attempt on his life ordered by the Emperor. After killing the Emperor and his family in cold blood, Gui notices that the Prince is missing – and sets out to complete his revenge mission.
Ching Li (FOUR RIDERS) and Ling Yun (KILLER CLANS) star in the kung fu film THE DEADLY KNIVES as young lovers Guan Yue-hua and Yan Zi-fei, whose relationship is tested when Yan’s family comes under threat by Japanese thugs led by Ogawa (Ching Miao, THE SHADOW BOXER). He becomes determined to avenge their honour – even if that means taking on Guan’s corrupt father.
Limited Edition (2,000 copies) with slipcase and booklet.
