  • The Battle Wizard
    A brother who loves books and a sister who loves swords must face a yellow-robed warrior, the Red Python, a sinuous snake-charmer, and a silk-masked beauty (who must kill or wed the first man to see her face) before they can bring peace to their battle-addled family.
  • Shaolin Temple
    There is no place more hallowed in the martial art world than China's Shaolin Temple.

The conflicts grow in complexity, intensity and even suspense as monks struggle to stay alive in the face of overwhelming odds.

    The anti-Ching patriots, under the guidance of Ho Kuang-han, have secretly set up their base in Canton, disguised as school masters. During a brutal Manchu attack, Lui manages to escape, and devotes himself to learning the martial arts in order to seek revenge.
