In the wake of Bruce Lee's contemporary-set kung fu films, legendary studio Shaw Brothers would start their own wave of socially charged martial arts cinema, where brave fighters face off against the dastardly street gangs of Hong Kong!
Jointly directed by action maestros Chang Cheh and Kuei Chih-Hung, THE DELINQUENT tells of a hot-headed young martial artist fighting back against the ruthless triad gang trying to recruit him.
Kung fu prodigy Chen Kuan-Tai stars in THE TEAHOUSE and its sequel BIG BROTHER CHENG as a small business owner reluctantly resorting to violence to protect his establishment and keep the city safe.
The saga continues with the spinoff BIG BAD SIS, where a factory worker uses her formidable combat skills to train her sworn sisters to fight back against the men who oppress them.
Chen Kuan-Tai returns alongside future The Killer star Danny Lee in THE BIG HOLDUP where a group of robbers pulls off a bountiful heist, but there could be a traitor in their midst.
Set in the Republican era, director Chor Yuen's THE CONVICT KILLER stars Shaw luminary Ti Lung, recently released from prison and hellbent on finding the man who framed him, armed with an iron chain and righteous fury.
Finally, in one of the chief inspirations behind John Woo's A Better Tomorrow, an upright police inspector and a powerful triad leader must contend with being bound by blood in Hua Shan's landmark THE BROTHERS.
Swapping aerial sword fights for unflinching street brawls, Shaw Brothers' 1970s thrillers offer gripping and action-packed tales of Hong Kong's criminal underworld, stunningly restored and compiled in this must-have boxset.
