Two classic Shaw Brothers titles coming to UK Blu-ray
By Phil Mills | Oct 14, 2016
88 Films will be bringing two classic Shaw Brothers movies, ‘House of Traps’ and ‘Five Element Ninjas’ to UK Blu-ray on November 21, 2016.
The beloved Chang Cheh classic ‘House of Traps’ is a rousing 1982 actioner about the quest to recover a valuable jade antique. The stolen antique has been hidden in the eponymous “House of Traps”, a booby trap-laden pagoda from which no one has ever escaped alive. Expect plenty of exotic weaponry, powerful fisticuffs, and above all copious bloodletting as Chang Cheh guides the Venoms through undeniably one of their most popular Shaw Brothers outings!
Drawing on the age old tension between The Land of the Rising Sun and China, ‘Five Element Ninjas’ is a riotous rollercoaster ride of spilled blood, bludgeoned skulls and seductive, but deadly, Far Eastern femmes. Starring the mighty Ricky Cheng – also of Jackie Chan’s ‘Fearless Hyena’ – ‘Five Element Ninjas’ is one of the crowning achievements from the great career of legendary director Chang Cheh.
Both titles are available for pre-order now from Amazon.co.uk – House of Traps / Five Element Ninjas.
