One of my new missions in life is to watch every Shaw Brothers movie. It has been ever since I heard them being mentioned in a Wu Tang Clan song, who are one of my favorite musical groups. I only own one Shaw Brothers movie, and it's a horror/kung fu hybrid called Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires and it's a collaboration with Hammer. It's fantastic, but leans more towards kung fu than horror. I expected more kung fu from this, but they've favored the downright weird, disgusting, bizarre train wreck of a movie (I mean that in a good way). The plot is thin and layered over with lots of great action, cheesy special effects, Buddhist and occult practices and lots of really bizarre, disgusting scenes (including an eel coming out of a guys mouth). This is on Youtube, so I recommend checking it out. It's disgusting, funny, weird and insane.
Nice! Since its on youtubeI may as well watch it as part of the October challenge.
