Overview
After an undisputed reign at the peak of Hong Kong’s film industry in the 1960s, Shaw Brothers (the studio founded by real-life brothers Run Run and Runme Shaw) found their dominance challenged by up-and-coming rivals in the early 1970s. They swiftly responded by producing hundreds of the most iconic action films ever made, revolutionising the genre through the backbreaking work of top-shelf talent on both sides of the camera as well as unbeatable widescreen production value, much of it shot at ‘Movietown’, their huge, privately-owned studio on the outskirts of Hong Kong.
在 20 世纪 60 年代毫无争议地统治香港电影业的巅峰之后,邵氏兄弟(由现实生活中的邵逸夫和邵逸夫创立的工作室)发现自己的统治地位在 1970 年代初受到了崭露头角的竞争对手的挑战。他们迅速作出回应,制作了数百部有史以来最具标志性的动作片,通过镜头两侧顶级人才的艰苦工作以及无与伦比的宽银幕制作价值,彻底改变了这一类型,其中大部分是在“电影城”拍摄的,他们位于香港郊区的大型私人工作室。
This inaugural collection by Arrow Video presents twelve jewels from the Shaw crown, all released within the 1970s, kicking off in 1972 with Korean director Chung Chang-wha’s King Boxer, the film that established kung fu cinema as an international box office powerhouse when it hit Stateside cinemas under the title Five Fingers of Death. From there we see Chang Cheh (arguably Shaw’s most prolific director) helm the blood-soaked brutality of The Boxer from Shantung and two self-produced films in his ‘Shaolin Cycle’ series, Five Shaolin Masters and its prequel Shaolin Temple, before taking a detour into Ho Meng-hua’s King Kong-inspired Mighty Peking Man, one of the most unmissably insane giant monster films ever made. Chang’s action choreographer Lau Kar-leung then becomes a director in his own right, propelling his adoptive brother Gordon Liu to stardom in Challenge of the Masters and Executioners from Shaolin. Not to be outdone, Chang introduces some of Shaw’s most famous faces to the screen, including Alexander Fu Sheng fighting on the streets of San Francisco in Chinatown Kid and, of course, the mighty Venom Mob in The Five Venoms and Crippled Avengers. Finally, Lau and Liu successfully meld high kicks with humour in two of their masterworks, Heroes of the East and Dirty Ho, also featuring such fan favourites as Wong Yue, Hsiao Hao and Kara Hui.
Arrow Video 的首个系列展示了邵氏皇冠上的 12 颗宝石,全部在 1970 年代上映,以 1972 年韩国导演郑昌和的《天下第一拳》拉开序幕,该片一经上映,就奠定了功夫电影作为国际票房强国的地位。美国本土电影院,名为“死亡五根手指”。从那里我们看到张彻(可以说是邵氏最多产的导演)执导了《马永贞》的血腥残暴,以及他的“少林循环”系列中的两部自制电影《少林五祖》及其前传《少林寺》,然后拍摄了《少林寺》。绕道观看何孟华受金刚启发的《猩猩王》,这是有史以来最不容错过的疯狂巨型怪物电影之一。张的动作指导刘家良随后成为一名导演,并推动他的养弟刘家辉在《陆阿采与黄飞鸿》中成为明星。张也不甘示弱,将邵氏最著名的一些面孔搬上银幕,包括《唐人街小子》中旧金山街头打斗的亚历山大·傅盛,当然还有《五毒》和《残缺》中强大的毒液暴徒。最后,刘和刘在他们的两部杰作《中华丈夫》和《烂头何》中成功地将高踢腿与幽默融为一体,其中还包括深受粉丝喜爱的黄钰、萧豪和惠英红等人。
From kickass kung fu killers to crazy kaiju knockoffs to culture clash comedies, this carefully curated and gorgeously presented selection of all-time Shaw Brothers classics merely represents the tip of the iceberg of the studio’s rich output, making it both an ideal starting point for newcomers and a treat for hardcore fans alike.
从超强的功夫杀手到疯狂的怪兽山寨品,再到文化冲突喜剧,这部精心策划、精美呈现的邵氏经典作品仅代表了该工作室丰富作品的冰山一角,使其成为新人的理想起点也是对铁杆粉丝的一种享受。
