- Synopsis:
Directed by Lo Wei shortly before he achieved global success with the Bruce Lee vehicles 'The Big Boss' and 'Fist of Fury', 'The Invincible Eight' was one of the first films produced by Golden Harvest following the company's founding in 1970 - a wuxia tale starring Nora Miao (The Way of the Dragon), Angela Mao (Hapkido), Paul Chang Chung (Police Story) and James Tien (Yes, Madam!). Eight men and women band together for a single purpose: to take their revenge on the military General responsible for killing members of their respective families. They intend to stop at nothing until their adversary is dead, but theirs will not be an easy task. For the General not only has the protection of the Imperial army, but also an elite group of bodyguards armed with whips and sworn to protect their leader at any cost. Boasting fight choreography by Sammo Hung (who also plays one of the villain's whip-wielding henchmen), 'The Invincible Eight' is a significant film in the history of Hong Kong cinema, notable for helping to establish Golden Harvest as an industry force to be reckoned with. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time outside of Asia. - Actors:
