Shaolin Mantis

Direct from the golden age of Hong Kong martial arts cinema comes "Shaolin Mantis", another fast paced fight fest, from the mighty Shaw Brothers studio. When scholar Wei Fung (David Chiang) is hired by the Emperor to infiltrate a clan of rebellious Ming loyalists, his mission goes adrift when he falls in love the clan leader's granddaughter and his plans are discovered. From legendary director and star Lau Kar Leung ("The Spiritual Boxer", "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin"), "Shaolin Mantis" is another superlative entry from the never ending showcase of 70s martial arts productions. An absolute must for collectors of classic Shaw Brothers movies.
