Distinguished by his penchant for bloodshed and a thematic concentration on the bonds of brotherhood and masculine sacrifice, Chang Cheh is one of the most prolific and accomplished directors ever to emerge from the Hong Kong film industry. Often hailed as the “Godfather of Hong Kong cinema,” he enjoyed a career spanning six decades and worked in a multitude of genres, from Chinese opera to kung fu films via wuxia pian, historical epics and tales of the supernatural.
Presented here are ten films that reveal the range and versatility of Chang’s career as a filmmaker:
Wuxia films:
King Eagle
Trail of the Broken Blade
Wandering Swordsman
Trilogy of Swordsmanship (anthology film, to which Chang contributed a segment alongside his contemporaries Yueh Feng and Cheng Kang).
Shaolin films:
Men from the Monastery
Shaolin Martial Arts
New Shaolin Boxers
Kung fu:
Iron Bodyguard
Fantasy:
The Fantastic Magic Baby (a Journey to the West adaptation)
The Weird Man (supernatural fantasy)
All produced during Chang Cheh’s tenure at Shaw Brothers, these ten films are a testament to the director’s distinct aesthetic style and his recurring thematic preoccupations.
