Lau's second film, the thrilling and deeply personal Challenge of the Masters, draws upon the legend of the real-life Cantonese folk hero Wong Fei-hung, played here by Lau's soon-to-be-legendary adoptive brother Gordon Liu in his first starring role. Having choreographed the action for many of Chang Cheh's 'Shaolin Temple' films, Lau took on the same historical legends in Executioners from Shaolin, jam-packed with extraordinary fight scenes and unforgettable characters, not least the evil Bai Mei, the White-Browed Hermit! Lau's trademark mix of high-kicking kung fu choreography and knee-slapping physical comedy is on full display in one of the director's most acclaimed films, Heroes of the East, which pits Japanese and Chinese martial arts against one another and ultimately celebrates both. Last but not least is Dirty Ho, Lau's take on the odd couple buddy comedy, which shows off some of the most inventive action set-pieces in the Shaw Brothers canon and is not to be missed!" -- Container.MPAA rating: Not rated.Blu-ray; requires Blu-Ray player- Subjects: Martial arts films.; Action and adventure films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Martial arts; Revenge; Kung fu; Spouses; Japanese; Jewel thieves; Films for the deaf and hard of hearing;

Directors of photography, Christopher Doyle, Andrew Lau Wai Keung ; original music, Frankie Chan ; editors, William Chang Suk Ping, Hai Kit Wai, Kong Chi Leung.Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Faye Wong, Valerie Chow.The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of 1990s cinemas and the film that made Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops, both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out food stand, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye works. Anything goes in Wong's gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas & the Papas 'California Dreamin' into tokens of romantic longing.Blu-ray; region A; wide screen (1.66:1); 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio; requires Blu-ray player.- Subjects: Anthology films.; Police films.; Romance films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Comedy films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Man-woman relationships; Police;
