SYNOPSIS

Although his name may not be as instantly recognisable as some of his contemporaries, Joseph Kuo was an incredibly successful filmmaker who consistently produced crowd-pleasing spectacles always in line with what audiences at the time wanted to see. Fearless Shaolin! collects four action-packed Joseph Kuo titles; Shaolin Kung Fu, The Shaolin Kids, 18 Bronzemen, and Return of the 18 Bronzemen

In Shaolin Kung Fu, a young rickshaw driver uses his lethal martial arts skills to cut a path of bloody revenge when criminals target his family. And in The Shaolin Kids, a ruthless premiere assassinates a political rival, and must face the wrath of his deadly daughter

Before students can leave the Shaolin temple, they must face a series of challenges and defeat the Shaolin Bronzemen, deadly fighters—some wielding weapons, others heavily armoured—who destroy anyone who crosses their path. Carter Wong (Big Trouble in Little China) will challenge them in both 18 Bronzemen and Return of the 18 Bronzemen.
