The Shaolin Plot Blu-ray brings one of the most overlooked and inventive kung fu ensemble thrillers of the late 1970s to Blu-ray in a new 2K restoration. Made during the final collaboration between director Huang Feng and his protégé Sammo Hung before Hung stepped behind the camera himself, this rare martial arts epic blends classical Shaolin mythology with the emerging, more kinetic action style that would define the next era of Hong Kong cinema.
 
Prince Daglen is obsessed with collecting and mastering every Chinese martial arts manual in existence. With only two left to obtain, he unleashes his most dangerous weapon: a renegade monk wielding lethal golden cymbals that double as flying guillotines. When theft fails, Daglen infiltrates the Shaolin Temple himself, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation involving Wu-Tang survivors, elite Shaolin warrior monks, and a web of deception that culminates in one of the most ferocious finales of the genre.
 
Starring Chan Sing as the villainous prince, alongside Sammo Hung, Casanova Wong, James Tien, and Kwan Yung Moon, The Shaolin Plot is a prime example of Hong Kong martial arts cinema in transition. Based on a story by legendary writer Ni Kuang, the film balances old-school discipline with relentless action and inventive weapon choreography. This limited edition release presents the film in high definition with extensive extras celebrating its legacy.
