The #ShawBrothers of the week is the consistently confusing "The Champion of Champions." When is it set? Who is the hero? What are the villains up to? Who made it? All questions will remain unanswered. #MoreThanKungFu

@ianwhitney.bsky.socialThis week's #ShawBrothers is the last film Inoue Umetsugu made for the studio, a fitting bookend on his five years making Shaw actresses wear wild costumes, "The Yellow Muffler." #MoreThanKungFu
@ianwhitney.bsky.socialWe plunge into 1972 at #ShawBrothers the way Tsung Wa plunges knives into his many enemies in Chor Yuen's "The Killer". #MoreThanKungFu
@ianwhitney.bsky.socialAnd since I've watched all available #ShawBrothers films from 1971, it's time for the annual wrap up! #MoreThanKungFu
@ianwhitney.bsky.socialThe #ShawBrothers of the week is up a little early due to other movie commitments. Enjoy the competent and laid back style of the studio's most veteran director Ho Meng-Hua in "The Long Chase". And with this I've watched everything from 1971! #MoreThanKungFu
@ianwhitney.bsky.socialThis week's #ShawBrothers movie is a true cornucopia of dudes, "The Deadly Duo". #MoreThanKungFu
