Iron Bodyguard

The collaboration of director Chang Cheh and action star Chen Kuan Tai proved to be one of the most enduring of kung fu's golden age, and nowhere were the two more inventive than when journeying back to the era when the Ching Dynasty fell and the Chinese Republic was born. Following their landmark successes Boxer From Shantung and Man of Iron came this powerful, exciting tale of a patriot committed to ending the corruption of the Ching rulers.

Iron Bodyguard began a trend in Hong Kong film focusing on real martial arts and furious action, and the Shaw Brothers delivered an epic as only they could. From acclaimed director Chang Cheh (Five Deadly Venoms), and featuring back-breaking action directed by Lau Kar Leung (Challenge of the Masters, Drunken Master 2) and Tong Gai (Shaolin Prince), perhaps the most popular series of martial arts films ever begins here.
