Three action films directed by Lo Wei: THE BLACK BUTTERFLY (1968), DEATH VALLEY (1968) and VENGEANCE OF THE SNOW GIRL (1971). Limited Edition bluray release of 2,000 copies only.
A prolific writer and director,Ā Lo WeiĀ found fame in the 1970s following the enormous international success ofĀ The Big BossĀ andĀ Fist of Fury, his collaborations with the inimitable Bruce Lee. In the years before he kickstarted a kung fu revolution, though, he had been working on an accomplished series ofĀ wuxia pianĀ for Shaw Brothers. Presented here are three standout films drawn from Lo WeiāsĀ wuxiaĀ world.
In THE BLACK BUTTERFLY, a good-hearted thief acts as the Robin Hood of the martial world, robbing from the rich to give to the poor ā and they begin by stealing a fortune in gold from a group of five ruthless bandits holed up at Five Devils Rock.
Then, in DEATH VALLEY, the Lord of Chao Manor (Lo Wei) is murdered by his niece (Angela Yu Chien), leading to a bitter fight to claim his land and a clash between a hired swordsman (Chen Hung-lieh) and the Lordās heir apparent (Yueh Hua).
Finally, in VENGEANCE OF A SNOW GIRL, a young woman (Li Ching) takes revenge for her murdered parents, who were killed in a dispute over the legendary Tsui Feng sword ā leading to a final showdown on frozen ground.
Lo Weiās The Black Butterfly,Ā Death ValleyĀ andĀ Vengeance of a Snow GirlĀ are three of the finestĀ wuxiaĀ films produced in the years before Bruce Leeās meteoric rise to fame would cause a tectonic shift in the Hong Kong film industry, as the era of kung fu loomed on the horizon
