Ma Rulong
A group of down-on-their-luck robbers pull off a spectacular job - only to find themselves hunted by cops and possible betrayers! Chan Koon Tai leads the diverse pack of criminals, which also includes such Shaw Brothers luminaries as Ngok Wah, Chung Wong, Ling Yun, and a young Danny Lee in one of his first featured roles. The group pulls off the robbery in action-packed fashion, but betrayal and the relentless police end up marking the five robbers for death.
Lo Chin-Ying
With the cast list, you would almost expect this to be another Chang Cheh film. Two of Chang's proteges, David Chiang and Chen Kuan-tai go head-to-head in The Imposter which sees cinematographer Pao Hsueh-li back in the director's chair. Chiang plays Ko Liang, as master of disguise who puts his seven faces to good use when he goes to the aid of two young guardsmen Tseng Yung (Danny Lee) and Tseng Kan (Wang Chung) who have been framed by Captain Lo (Chen Kuan-tai) for murder.
Wang Cheng
Shaw Brothers' number one action hit of 1975, and deservedly so. The character of one-man kung-fu dynamo Big Brother Cheng and kung-fu superstar Chen Kuan-tai were made for each other. A Robin Hood-like restaurant manager who socks it to the thugs in order to make the mean streets of Hong Kong a little less mean, Big Brother Cheng made his first appearance in the extremely popular The Tea House, the success of which spawned this even more successful sequel.
Tattooed Dragon / Shih Chen
El emperador le pide a Yen Ching, líder del Liang Shan, que se lo apoye para eliminar a la banda de Fang La. Durante el primer ataque a la fortaleza rebelde, muchos hombres del Liang Shan son asesinados. Los supervivientes planean un segundo ataque, pero son descubiertos. Habrá un último intento para capturar a los rebeldes.
Ma Teng
Chen Kuan-Tai, interpreta al líder de un grupo de asesinos, contratados por el emperador Ching para utilizar un arma mortal que decapitaba a los disidentes. Aunque está basada en una historia real, el arma de la película es totalmente ficticia, ya que nadie sobrevivió para decribir cómo lucía exactamente.
Master Wu Wen-Yuan
The plot follows the titular gang of misfits, gathered together by Chen Kuan Tai (a real life martial arts champion who starred in many films for the studio) in order to protect a patriotic general from a scheming usurper. To this end, the unlikely heroes act as the general’s escorts on a dangerous journey to a distant British consulate, beset by enemies and sinister Japanese interference along the way.
Boss Wang Cheng
Chen Kuan-Tai is Big Brother Cheng, a former refugee who runs a local teahouse in Hong Kong. Respected by his peers, Big Brother Cheng runs the teahouse - and unofficially the neighborhood - with a firm righteous hand. However, when the triads come calling, Big Brother Cheng finds out respect and common decency may not be enough. The triads use underage kids to terrorize the teahouse, and since the law won't do anything, Big Brother Cheng may have to step in and take care of it himself!
Ambulance driver
As the Heng Seng Index reaches unprecedented heights, people from all walks of life go stock speculation crazy. A security guard and his landlord learn firsthand that money is ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’ as their fast fortune disappears overnight in a Macau casino. Meanwhile, greedy neighbours and infidel couples cheat each other and even blue-collar workmen dive into the frenzy. Inevitably, the market tumbles as do the people’s bittersweet lives. A hilarious but ironic tale featuring some of Shaw’s biggest stars.
Hung Hsi-kuan
The majestic Ming dynasty is invaded by the Manchu troops, its upto the Shaolin monastery to fight them and save the fate of the nation.
Ma Tao
A pacifist village is beset by bandits in this martial arts thriller. "Savage Five" hands-down rivals the ornateness of "Kid With The Golden Arm" and the twist-heavy "Five Deadly Venoms". The always great David Chiang plays a lesser version of his Rover character from "Duel Of The Iron Fist", and Ti Lung, looking incredible here, is at his physical best. Accolades to Chen Kuan Tai and Wang Chung in great sympathetic roles, too. A kung fu classic where the actual martial arts display takes a back seat to the mesmerizing story.
A short film that originally played before showings of "Heroes Two" - in which Fu Sheng, Chen Kuan Tai and Chi Kuan-Chun demonstrate different techniques of Hung boxing
Hung Hsi-kuan

Li Wei-shi
Four Korean War veterans pool their talents to take on a venal drug smuggling gang.
Zeng Gen Bao
Man of Iron was positioned as something of a follow-up to Boxer From Shantung, the rise-and-fall story of Ma Yung Chen and it reunites the directors and some of the cast in a similar but much slighter tale of a lesser gangster's rise and fall in Shanghai. While the opening narration specifically recalls the events and tragic conclusion of BOXER, this one is set 20 years later in the same section of Shanghai but otherwise has nothing to do with the events or characters of the previous film.
An action film directed by Wei Lo.
Ho Tai
The longstanding rivalry between a music club and a sports club is compounded by their leaders' mutual interest in a girl.
Okagawa Takeo

Afortunadamente, un solitario errante, fugitivo de la justicia, experto luchador de kung fu, Jang Wu-dip (Chen Sing) llega para ayudarlos y se enfrentara al líder de los japoneses en una feroz lucha en la playa.
Tattooed Dragon, Shi Jin
Existen muchas peliculas épicas sobre artes marciales y sobre las "hermandades de heroes", pero ninguna de ellas es comparable a "The Water Margin", basada en la novela sobre la leyenda "All Men are brothers", en la que 108 rebeldes lucharon contra la dinastia Sung.
Ma Yung Chen
En tiempos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Ma Yung Chen, de la provincia de Shandong, llega a Shanghai en busca de trabajo, pero la complicada situación existente le impide mejorar su posesión social.

But before Tan and the Rambler can slit each other's throats, they learn they've been double-crossed and go two against everyone in a rage of double-edged vengeance.
Hung Tien Piao
A swordsman is looking for his parents' enemy and finally meets the old swordsman who he thinks is the enemy of his parents.
Martial Arts Choreographer
Chor Yuen was Gu Long before he started filming Gu Long. The director's first wuxia film, made at Shaws' rival Cathay, finds him relishing in a mode of expression that would later become the signature style of the 'martial-arts suspense thriller' mini-genre. Chor grafts the quasi-psychological stylishness of his Cantonese melodrama onto this actioner, laying on thick the atmosphere by dialling up the fog machine and unleashing the colours from his camera's palette. He also stages his fights in modern dance-like choreography, with moves that are more graceful than ferocious and paused poses that are longer on expressive narcissism than continuity of action. Cold Blade is the quiet beginning of an aesthetic.
