Treasure of the Ninja and the Films of William Lee

Part of the 101 Films x AGFA range.

Meet your new favourite action hero. Throughout the 1980s, Black filmmaker and martial artist William Lee wrote, produced, directed, and starred in dozens of D.I.Y. action epics -- all shot on Super 8 in Ohio and New York City.

From Treasure Of The Ninja (1987, Lee's most ambitious and beloved movie) to The New Chinese Connection (1980, an homage to Bruce Lee -- William Lee's idol), these inclusive and explosive works serve as an inspiration to anyone with a dream, pulse, or appreciation for spinning kicks.

AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are elated to bring the best-of-the-best in William Lee's early filmography to a wider audience for the first time ever, complete with brand new transfers and a revelatory stack of previously unreleased films.
