Directed by Lau Kar Leung, another golden age of Hong Kong martial arts cinema blu ray release from 88 Films.

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.

Also known as "The Deadly Mantis", Shaolin Mantis is another superlative entry for collectors of classic Shaw Brothers Studio kung fu (with a great collaborative pairing of Lau Kar Leung with David Chiang!).
