Miracle Fighters, Taoism Drunkard, and Shaolin Drunkard are generally considered a trilogy.

are there any good or popular black and white wuxia movies? I think the earliest Wuxia I've actually seen is One Armed Swordsman so I have like no knowledge of anything before that. edit: actually Come Drink With Me came out in 1966 so that's the earliest one I've seen The D in Detroit fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Jul 22, 2018 |

It's a bit disappointing how in both that movie and its sequel, Golden Swallow, the third act becomes about the male lead.

Is there a good biography on King Hu? Specifically with a focus on his later career? It seems so weird that Come Drink With Me, Dragon Inn, and A Touch of Zen are the only films of his anyone ever talks about, even though he kept working until the early 90s.

With Come Drink with Me it's almost certainly a case of Shaw Bros studio interference, with Golden Swallow it's because it's directed by Chang Cheh. Samuel Clemens posted:Is there a good biography on King Hu? Specifically with a focus on his later career?

Nothing I can find in English. David Bordwell's Planet Hong Kong goes into his early and mid career a little bit and so does this article. The lack of discussion is all about his films' lack of availability; it's only been in the last 3 years any of his films have gotten proper releases in the West. The Fate of Lee Khan is only available in a bargain bin 4-in-1 DVD set, Legend of the Mountain just got restored and released on Blu-ray recently, and I haven't heard anything about the others.

Enter the Dragon is going to be remade by David Leitch I originally saw this on Birth.Movies.Death (AKA the old Badass Digest) but the article starts off by saying Enter the Dragon isn't a great movie so gently caress them. I picked the Variety link instead.
