Friends DVD Region 3

From legendary film director and honorary "Godfather of Kung Fu" Chang Cheh (One Armed Swordsman and Chinatown Kid) comes Friends, a 1973 Shaw Brothers production full of thrilling action and heart-pounding adventure! Shaw Brothers screen icons David Chiang (The Water Margin and Have Sword, Will Travel) and Alexander Fu Sheng (Heroes Shed No Tears and The Brave Archer) team up in this dramatic story of a young Hong Kong vigilante caught up in the criminal underworld of violence, kidnapping, and white slavery! And adding insult to injury, there's even a rich, pretentious, highly conceited father figure for our hero to contend with as well! But as the old song goes, all a man needs is a little help from his friends!

For his excellent performance in Friends, martial arts superstar Alexander Fu Sheng took home the Best Young Newcomer Award at the 20th Asian Film Festival held in 1974. Featuring a welcome supporting performance by the beautiful and talented Lily Li (Executioners from Shaolin and The Heroic Ones) and excellent fight choreography by respected action director Lau Kar-Leung (36th Chamber of Shaolin and Drunken Master 2)and Tong Gaai (Golden Swallow and The One Armed Swordsman), Chang Cheh's 1973 drama Friends is yet another wonderful cinematic gem to emerge from the Shaw Brothers' hallowed film vault! In addition to trailers, a picture gallery, poster art, production notes, and behind-the-scenes photos, the special features-packed Celestial DVD includes a wonderful bonus - an informative documentary featurette entitled "The Master: Chang Cheh", an extra which should delight any diehard Shaw Brothers movie fan!
