Viewing Notes

RIP Cheng Pei-pei
December 4, 1946—July 17, 2024

Was surprised this wasn’t available on Blu-ray then I saw that it is part of the upcoming Arrow Films Shaw Collection vol 3. This will be a good one to revisit in the original language and better PQ. The transfer on ok.ru is so muddy I couldn’t find Sammo Hung as one of the Black Demon’s henchmen.

Cheng Pei-pei is excellent as expected. I like Shih Szu a lot as the apprentice. They should’ve made a sequel with her returning to become the new master.
