Heroes of the East

Action, Comedy · 1980R

Whether it’s known as "Heroes Of The East" or "Shaolin Challenges Ninja", this ranks as a special favorite among even the most avid fans of legendary director Liu Chia-liang. Ric Meyers, author of Great Martial Arts Movies, the premiere, groundbreaking book on the genre, dubbed it the “Kramer VS. Kramer of kung-fu films” -- only instead of drama, there’s action galore as a Chinese groom and Japanese bride create a loving “kung-fu family feud”. Watch, in appreciative awe, as one Nipponese expert after other tests the skills of Gordon Liu Chia-hui in one maginificent bout after another -- with swords, spears, pikes, karate, and even Sai Seui. The result is a dazzling delight featuring the great “Shoji” Kurata (Fist Of Legend).
