The Golden Harvest studio became popular because they focused on styles other than martial arts and action films. Eventually Golden Harvest became more popular than the Shaw Brothers in the market by the mid-80s. Now, 88 Films has released one of the Golden Harvest releases on deluxe Blu-ray that title is Lo Wei’s The Invincible Eight.
Synopsis: The story follows eight warriors, each driven by the same burning purpose: to avenge the brutal murders of their fathers at the hands of a ruthless general. Among them are two of the era's most iconic stars--Nora Miao (The Way of the Dragon) and Angela Mao (Enter the Dragon)--whose fierce determination and commanding presence anchor the film's emotional and physical battles alike. Backed by an ensemble that includes Sammo Hung, James Tien, and Lydia Shum, The Invincible Eight balances breathtaking action choreography with heartfelt human drama.
1971 was quite the year for director Lo Wei. Not only did he bring moviegoers The Invincible Eight, but he also directed Bruce Lee in The Big Boss. The Invisible Eight brings 8 great actors together for an action-packed adventure you will never forget.
88 Films has transferred The Invincible Eight to Blu-ray in 1080p and is presented in 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The audio track is a remastered Mandarin LCPM 2.0 audio track. There are also newly translated English subtitles for those who don't understand Mandarin.
