Human Lanterns poster is very cool so is Hex

this poster would leave you to believe the film was a zany excursion in depravity, but it’s actually rather serious and often nasty little film. The sequel below it, however, is one of the wildest, craziest and OTT cinematic experiences you will ever see…

the sequel to the above film…

the unreleased on dvd and rare CURSE OF EVIL. This poster is interesting. It uses a modified version of the poster for the Shaw’s co-production of INSEMINOID…

their horror movie posters are pretty crazy in a good way

The Image dvd for HUMAN LANTERNS is more complete than the HK disc. HEX is one of the best HK horrors IMO. It’s a Chinese variation on DIABOLIQUE and also mixes in one of the segments from KWAIDAN for good measure. A great deal of nudity at the end, too when a well endowed woman does an erotic dance to exorcise some demons. :smiley:

GANGMASTER lobbies…

14 AMAZONS b/w stills…

LIFE GAMBLE lobbies. When I bought this set, there was noticeable wear on the whole set. A couple of them were much better though…

not a Shaw movie, but Shaw distributed. This is DRAGON & THE TIGER KIDS aka HELL’S WIND STAFF…

FOUR RIDERS lobbies. This 10 card set is mint…

damn man you could open your open gallery of HK action movie poster and lobby cards

Now I’m steadily accumulating a large collection of Shaw’s own promotional magazines Southern Screen and HK Movie News. I’ve got around 60 mags total so far from the years 1968 to 1983.

[quote=“Lindberg, post:76, topic:368”]Yes like you say Wang Yu was not a real martial artist, Bruce Lee was, that’s my point

And I was refering to Chinese Boxer for example, you won’t find the true skills of Lee in that movie, that’s for sure

Lee also changed the attitudes to martial arts training, and developed his own way of fighting, that’s what I meant by common knowledge

I’m not saying Shaw Brothers films are bad and I haven’t seen all hundreds of them, sword films and all, I’m just saying there’s a difference between the fights in early Shaw movies and the fights in Bruce Lee’s movies[/quote]

I was quite surprised to learn recently that due Lee’s lack of acrobatic skills that doubles were brought in to perform that function in his films so everything you see is not necessarily him.

b/w lobby set from the venom movie, SWORD STAINED WITH ROYAL BLOOD…

Shaw stunt man and frequent supporting actor Yuen Wah did all his jumping stunts in ENTER THE DRAGON. He did the flip at the beginning where Lee jumps over the group of men holding their hands up and he also did the back flip kick to Bob Wall’s face (the guy with the broken bottle in his hand).

You convinced me.Just ordered this title from Amazon!

PORTRAIT IN CRYSTAL b/w lobbies. These are the only two I have of this set…

Ti Lung’s solo swordplay outing from the master Chang Cheh…

You won’t be disappointed. It’s a wonderful film with an unusually good storyline with an important message behind it.

Some more venoms stuff for Talby. This LIFE GAMBLE poster was signed by Lo Mang when I met him in August of 2006…

BRAVE ARCHER 3…

SWORD STAINED WITH ROYAL BLOOD…

Some more venoms for Talby. The first two were both signed by Lo Mang…

I seem to have misplaced pics for my posters of the venom movies, SHAOLIN RESCUERS and REBEL INTRUDERS.

Hey AF how is the Sword Stained With Royal Blood? Being a fan of the Venoms does it stack up to their better movies?

Two Champions of Shaolin and Invincible Shaolin are two of my favorite Venom movies
