Long before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wowed the western world, Come Drink With Me set an entirely new standard for martial arts movies in the Far East. Director King Hu not only broke new ground but set the groundwork for all the action films that followed, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Come Drink With Me tells the story of a mysterious swordswoman nicknamed "Golden Swallow", and the even more mysterious swordsman, "Beggar". They join forces to free a kidnapped official from a Buddhist monastery run by a corrupt abbot with incredible kung-fu powers. But the real attention-getters are the ingeniously staged action scenes and a cast of characters that looks as cool today as when the film burst upon the cinema scene in 1966.

Golden Swallow
Action & Adventure
The indomitable martial arts team of director Chang Cheh and stunt choreographer Liu Chia-liang bring the Golden Swallow of King Hu's Come Drink With Me back to life again in this sequel of heartbreaking romance, intrigue and stunning action. The original queen of swordplay epics Cheng Pei-pei reprises her role as Golden Swallow, now content to lead a quiet life with swordsman Han Tao (a young and rugged Lo Lieh). Her peaceful life is shattered when her unrequited suitor Silver Roc (Jimmy Wang Yu) starts a killing spree to draw her out of seclusion. An outraged Golden Swallow and Han return to the jianghu world to investigate but find more trouble than they bargained for as Silver Roc's devious plots start getting out of control. As conflicts threaten the martial arts world, Han and Silver Roc also race towards a final showdown to win the woman they love.
Brothers Five
Action & Adventure
The terrific team of director Lo Wei (who helmed Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan’s first major movies) and superstar swordswoman Cheng Pei-pei (famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) create another high-action winner of brotherly love…and death.
One-Armed Swordsman
Action & Adventure
Even non-kung-fu lovers will be mesmerized by Jimmy Wang Yu in the role that made him a superstar. As the mysterious swordsman whose one arm is more powerful than his two-armed rivals, Wang and director Chang Cheh revolutionized the Hong Kong kung-fu genre and broke box office records across Asia. The female leads, Pan Yin-tse and Chiao Chiao, went on to become some of Shaw Brothers most important lady fighters, and Wang followed up his One-Armed Swordsman triumph with numerous sequels. A film that always makes the ñtop tenî list of martial arts masterpieces, this 1967 classic is as timeless today as upon its original release.
The New One-Armed Swordsman
Action & Adventure
Jimmy Wang Yu was One-Armed Swordsman. But he had moved on to become The Chinese Boxer. So Chang Cheh, the man who had helped make him a star, wasn’t kidding with the title of this fondly remembered epic (which deservedly won a prestigious Golden Horse Award for Editing). He took his charismatic new star, David Chiang, and made him an all-new-one-armed hero - a man who chops off his right arm rather than live with dishonor. But when the love of his life is kidnapped and his best friend is murdered at a gang’s stronghold on Tiger Mountain, its one-armed chopping time. The climatic battle on an amazingly engineered moat bridge is a particular favorite among true fans of martial art masterpieces.
The Deadly Duo
Action & Adventure
It’s the Sung Dynasty versus the Chin invaders as the “Iron Triangle” of director Chang Cheh and stars David Chiang and Ti Lung truly hit their stride with this crowd-pleasing kung-fu epic. When a handsome Prince is taken captive and guarded by a martial arts master, it’s up to two powerful patriots to fight overwhelming odds to pull off the impossible: rescue the royal son and get out of the Chin stronghold alive. It’s action as only Chang can film it, with supremely charismatic acting and fighting as only Chiang and Lung can perform it. From the first fascinating minute to the final desperate battle to the death – culminating in an unforgettably evocative conclusion - this duo is dynamic as well as deadly.
