ARROW Goes Kung Fu In November

The action is about to get serious and to a level that’s out of this world at ARROW in November. With six fantastic, action-packed, weird and wonderful films from the Shaw Brothers studio, a rare Hong Kong sci-fi extravaganza; a definitive and definitely steamy documentary on straight-to-video erotic thrillers. There’s also in depth look at the wildly popular Child’s Play franchise, plus much more…

With such an action packed month ahead of us we need to brace ourselves. Movie madness awaits from Hong Kong’s mightiest film studio Shaw Brothers on ARROW. As special effects-driven horror and sci-fi cinema dominated the global box office in the 1970s, Shaw Brothers not only followed suit but took things one step beyond! ARROW are streaming some of the wildest and weirdest films the company ever made – Super Inframan – one of Shaws’ most beloved cult classics, that none other than Roger Ebert called “a classy, slick production by the Hong Kong kung fu kings”, starring Danny Lee (The Killer) as the titular high-kicking superhero, defending the planet against a demon queen and her legion of subterranean mutant minions; Battle Wizard – Danny Lee again as the prince granted magical powers in Pao Hsueh-li’s fantastical wuxia; the incredible fight fantasy Demon of the Lute; Portrait in Crystal – a deliriously imaginative tale of a murderous swordswoman brought to life through a crystal sculpture, directed by Super Inframan director Hua Shan; and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, an extremely rare example of science fiction Hong Kong-style, and it is unlike any sci-fi flick you’ve ever seen before.  All these films (and more) will be available in ARROW‘s upcoming SHAWSCOPE VOLUME 4 Blu-ray box set, available from 8th December and packed with exclusive extras.

The month also brings , We Kill for Love, an unmissable documentary charting the irresistible rise of the direct-to-video erotic thriller, the steamy American film genre that once dominated late night cable television and the shelves of neighborhood video stores. Director Anthony Penta delves deep into the heart and soul of a forgotten and often maligned film movement, with contributions from the likes of actors Andrew Stevens (erotic thriller mainstay and star/writer/producer of Night Eyes, featured in the film), Monique Parent (Dark Secrets) and Amy Lindsay (Forbidden Sins).

Then there’s Living With Chucky, a fascinating look at the groundbreaking Child’s Play franchise from the perspective of Kyra Elise Gardner, a filmmaker who grew up within it – she is the daughter of Chucky puppeteer Tony Gardner. Among those appearing are actors Brad Dourif (the voice of Chucky), Finoa Dourif (Chucky), Jennifer Tilly (Bride of Chucky), and franchise creator Don Mancini, as well as cult film legend John Waters, who appears in Seed of Chucky and the Chucky TV series.
