Chang
Cheh is recognised as perhaps the greatest martial arts director of all time
and 1977's THE BRAVE ARCHER provided him with one of his biggest box office
successes.
Reinventing
the kung-fu formula in the era of Bruce Lee knock-offs, this period-set bout of
fist-to-fist fighting and swashbuckling action used the hit Cantonese novel The
Legend of the Condor Heroes as its basis.
With a
whimsical sense of 'old China', THE BRAVE ARCHER undoubtedly paved the way for
such later wuxia blockbusters as ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA and CROUCHING TIGER,
HIDDEN DRAGON by weaving a lavish costume-packed story of rival kung fu schools
pitting their best fighters against a series of trials and tribulations.
Featuring
an ensemble cast that includes Alexander Fu Sheng (HEROES SHED NO TEARS) and Ti
Lung (A BETTER TOMORROW), the action comes furious and fast, the atmosphere is
so strong you can almost taste the Far Eastern fog and the battles are some of
the most mesmerising ever produced! Leading to two sequels THE BRAVE ARCHER is
one of the standout Shaw Brothers adventures and 88 Films is thrilled to bring
this classic to UK shelves in glorious HD.
