Ready for some original footage? Okay, here's Thrilling Sword from 1981: https://youtu.be/MDRdT0N5UH4

Some super fun laser wuxia action, with a really gross meatball man and tons of cheesy 80s optical effects. Boutique label "Gold Ninja Video" just put out a limited edition BLU-RAY (!!!) of this film from a 2k scan, and it's already sold out! I did just see goon Tars Tarkas say over at his site (he provided a commentary track) that they're going to reissue it at some point tbd. I will definitely be watching out for that, this is like the low budget sleaze version of Buddha's Palm.






Hey, missed this when it was first posted but the reprint of the bluray is up on pre-order as part of a two-disc set at gold ninja - https://goldninjavideo.com/

The guy who does the commentary on Revengeful Swordswoman (Dylan Cheung) is pretty good and it is a new scan of the print which looks way better than the versions you can find easily online. It stars Chia Ling/Judy Lee and has a guy who shoots metal skull rockets at people

YESSS! Never saw Revengeful Swordswoman but it looks awesome too. I remember I used to binge thru the reviews of weirdo Asian movies on your site, Boy With Magic Box and the like.

Thanks for reading, hopefully will get back to it by the end of the year, lots of neat rare things popped up in the two years I have been on babby hiatus

 The American Genre Film Archive has a restored widescreen print I saw at the SF Drafthouse a few years ago, looks amazing compared to the public domain discs out there.
