THE MAGNIFICENT TRIO (1966) and MAGNIFICENT WANDERERS (1977) two films from legendary wu xia director Chang Cheh, in this 2,000 print run limited edition blu ray from Eureka Entertainment.
In an early role that pre-dates his star-making turn in Chang’s THE ONE ARMED-SWORDSMAN, Jimmy Wang Yu stars in THE MAGNIFICENT TRIO as swordsman Lu Fang, who – along with fellow warriors Yen Tzu-ching (Lo Lieh) and Huang Liang (Cheng Lui) – lends his martial arts prowess to a group of oppressed farmers when they kidnap the daughter of their local magistrate.
Then, in the kung fu comedy MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS, the three nomads Lin Shao You (Alexander Fu Sheng), Shi Da Yong (Chi Kuan-chun), and Guan Fei (Li Yi-min) attempt to join Chinese patriots in their struggle against invading Mongol armies with the help of the wealthy Chu Tie Xia (David Chiang).
From straight-faced wuxia to farcical kung fu comedy, THE MAGNIFICENT TRIO and MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS display the full range of Chang Cheh, a filmmaker who sat in the director’s chair for over three decades.
