Member razorclam Posted January 11, 2012 Member Share Posted January 11, 2012 What is your one desert Island Shaw Brothers Film? Only one. No honorable mentions. Mine is "The Delightful Forest". Ever since reading "outlaws of the Marsh" I've been hooked. James B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Eastern Evil Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 My choice would be 'Death Duel'. It is still fresh in my mind since I saw it for the 1st time a week or so ago. This is a tough choice since I am forced to leave out a Fu Sheng movie, or a Venoms movie .....or something like 'Killer Clans' Very tough choice indeed.

Member nectarsis Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 One movie is pretty much impossible for me....I'd cheat and put multiple dvd's in the same case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 King Boxer, aka 5 Fingers of Death. The first Shaw film, and first Kung Fu film I ever saw. Just the right amount of action: centered around a MA tourney, love interest, evil Japanese villains, eye gouging, and great trampoline stunts! What more could you want?

Member popsjnr Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 Has to be Sword Stained with Royal Blood my FAVOURITE venoms flik...Kwok Choy has never been better in this his finest role. I can watch this multiple times and still see new things in the choreography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 I might go with Shaolin Temple. Nice production values, most of the great Shaw stars of the 70's, with some of the 60s guys in there, and early work from some of the venoms. Great training scenes and lots of great one on one fights at the end, empty hand, weapons, heroic deaths...pretty much got it all. (although it is missing Chen Kuan Tai) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member popsjnr Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah I think the only thing missing from Shaolin Temple is Chen Kuan Tai as Hung Hey Goon....Frankie Wei is NO substitute!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member instant noodles Posted January 13, 2012 Member Share Posted January 13, 2012 Lady Assassin. It`s not maybe best Shaw film in my opinion and despite numerous faults ( too undercranked, too short running time considering depth of plot and somewhat disappointing ending) it`s highly entertaining. I could not stand thing to be in deserted island without it^_^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 66 Mantis Posted January 15, 2012 Member Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just one?! Aaargh!!!... gotta be King Boxer. At least with Markgway, we got to pick Top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yang Wu Liang Posted March 16, 2012 Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'd be tempted with some of the suggestions so far... Sword stained, Death Duel, Five super Fighters... but I'll say Long Road To Gallantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword stained, Death Duel, Five super Fighters... but I'll say Long Road To Gallantry. Long road to gallantry is excellent...Usually those late 70`s/early 80`s wu xia lose it because too many characters and sideplots but this is very tight. Interesting storyline and proper fights. Maybe could have done with little less undercranking but it does not hurt a lot. End fight at lair with arrow shooting trap is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yang Wu Liang Posted March 16, 2012 Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 Glad you agree Noodles, I love that frenetic early 80's choreography best - undercranking, wires and all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member nectarsis Posted March 16, 2012 Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 I guess you love bastard swordsman then also? Bastard, and Retun of Bastard are both TOP tier Shaws.
