Product Description: One of Shaws' most beloved cult classics, Hua Shan's tokusatsu tribute SUPER INFRAMAN stars Danny Lee (The Killer) as the titular high-kicking superhero, defending the planet against a demon queen and her legion of subterranean mutant minions. Lee also stars as a monster vigilante issuing vicious justice in Ho Meng-hua's creeptastic OILY MANIAC and as the prince granted magical powers in Pao Hsueh-li's fantastical wuxia BATTLE WIZARD Director Ho next treats us to a double-helping of occult mayhem with BLACK MAGIC and its sequel, where Ti Lung battles wicked voodoo doctors with the power to cast spells and raise the dead. Four more doses of unhinged madness follow from Kuei Chih-hung in the form of BEWITCHED and the HEX trilogy, an unforgettable quadruple serving of possession and witchcraft that presaged his notorious brain-melting classic The Boxer's Omen.
Master filmmaker Chor Yuen adds a dose of horror to his trademark wuxia-mystery style in BAT WITHOUT WINGS in which a young sword fighter must end a deranged martial arts master-turned-multiple murderer's perverted rampage. Hua Shan returns with BLOODY PARROT an eye-poppingly vivid horror fantasy about two swordsmen hunting a demon that offers to grant wishes. Lau Kar-wing's kung fu jiangshi comedy THE FAKE GHOST CATCHERS sees two conmen unwittingly enlisted to battle spirits from the underworld, while Tang Tak-cheung's hair-raising wuxia fantasia DEMON OF THE LUTE has to be seen to be believed. Yang Chuen's gruesome splatterfest SEEDING OF A GHOST has a taxi driver enlist a necromancer's help in avenging the murder of his wife, with sickening results; and Hua Shan returns with PORTRAIT IN CRYSTAL, a deliriously imaginative tale of a murderous swordswoman brought to life through a crystal sculpture. Last but not least, Alex Cheung's TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR is an out-of-this-world comedy in which city girl Cherie Chung is abducted by aliens and taken to a galaxy far, far away...
