88 Films has been knocking it out of the park with their kung fu classic from Golden Harvest. Recently, we saw the deluxe Blu-ray releases of Angela Mao's The Angry River and The Invisible Eight.
But 88 Films is not stopping there. It's time for another Angela Mao film. This time it is 1976's The Himalayan. What better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a film than with a deluxe Blu-ray release for physical media fans.
Synopsis: A martial arts epic from master director Huang Feng (The Angry River). After she's framed for adultery by her wicked brother-in-law Tseng Ching Lam (Angela Mao, Invincible Eight) takes to the hills to plot her revenge. That will come when she's learned the ancient Tibetan martial art of Mi - and her enemies won't know what's hit them.
Angela Mao is probably the best female martial artist of her generation. Everything she did was entertaining and a must watch feature. The Himalyans was partially shot in Nepal and feature absoulutly gorgeous scenery. This is one film that is visually stunning as well as entertaining.
