The Shaolin Plot (1977) – Huang Feng.

With dazzling content, The Shaolin Plot remains yet another exemplary, compellingly fight-packed Kung Fu blockbuster from revered director Huang 'Hapkido' Feng. Murderously covetous, Machiavellian martial arts genius Prince Daglen (Chen Hsing) seeks dominion over the martial arts world, and his malign machinations culminates in a brutally kinetic showdown with rebellious Shaolin monks. The majestic fight chorography is by acclaimed maestro Sammo Hung, who also plays Daglen's henchmen with dastardly aplomb, gruesomely decapitating all those masters unwilling to divulge their closely-guarded ancestral secrets. Rousingly dramatic, lavishly designed, excitingly edited, and jam-packed with explosive action, The Shaolin Plot is vintage Kung Fu heaven, and you couldn't ask for a more memorable introduction to martial arts wonder Casanova Wong! On a far more personal note, finally being able to experience many of these beloved 'Fu gems in their Bobby Dazzled Blu-ray editions has, in many instances, proven to be nothing short of revelatory, the dynamic camerawork, colourful costumes, exquisite interiors and blitzkrieg beat-downs absolutely pop in HD!
