Burning Paradise (1994)

First up tonight-
36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978)
Liu Chia-Liang (director)
One of the best kung-fu movies of them all. In the '80s we'd never miss this one, often gathering at a friend's house when it was airing.
Another of Liu's films that isn't just a great action movie but it's actually about kung-fu and the responsibility to empower people suffering injustice.

Tonight's first movie-
The Wandering Swordsman (1970)
Chang Cheh (director)
Yeah, it's another David Chiang movie. He was my first movie star crush and whattaya know, I'm still swoony over this absolute king of heroic kung-fu cinema.
Easily been 40 years or so since I've seen this one.

Four Riders (1972)
Chang Cheh (director)
David Chiang, Ti Lung, Chen Kuan-tai, and Wang Chung. Directed by Chang Cheh.
Action choreography by Liu Chia-liang and Chia Tang.
The Chang Cheh films starring David Chiang and Ti Lung are among my favorites.
Another one I haven't seen in years.
