Thanks.

Hey there versus! It is good to see another member on here who digs Shaw Brothers films. I have over 20 Shaw Bros. films in my library and I'll recommend some for you to check out. Instead of giving each movie a description due to the list being long, I will instead rate them. * being the lowest and ***** being the highest.

here is the list of favs:

36TH CHAMBERS OF SHAOLIN (KUNG FU) *****
RETURN TO THE 36TH CHAMBERS OF SHAOLIN (KUNG FU) ****
DISCIPLES OF THE 36TH CHAMBER (KUNG FU) ****
FIVE DEADLY VENOMS (KUNG FU) *****
BASTARD SWORDSMAN PT. 1,2 (WUXIA) *****/*****

They've done some horror movies too right?

Yeh like the demons and the Human Lanterns i got it today from play.com, i'll tell you how it is.

HUMAN LANTERNS is a good one. The villian looks awesome. If you guys ever get the chance, I recommend you checking out THE SECRET SERVICE OF THE IMPERIAL COURT. The film stars Leung Kar Yan, and he kicks major ass in that one.

That looks really cool. Human Lanterns is one of the best martial arts films that in my opinion shaw brothers did. It's dark, plenty of blood and two of the venoms are in it.

Death Duel is maybe my favourite, love that film, the end is great ...
