GOLDEN LOTUS

Although most famous for their kung fu movies, Hong Kong's legendary Shaw Brothers studio made more than just chop socky; taken from a (famously saucy) classic novel, Golden Lotus is an epic tale of a passionate - and sometimes destructive - love affair between a rich man and a poor women, a potent story of lust and power. Co-starring no less than Jackie Chan in one of his earliest roles and directed by the award-winning Li Han Hsiang, Golden Lotus reveals the true strength and diversity of Hong Kong filmmaking. 88 Films are proud to present this under-seen masterpiece on Blu-ray. BONUS FEATURES: High Definition (1080p) Presentation in 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio Original Mandarin Audio
