Chinese cinema would not be the same without the enormous impact of writer and director King Hu. Hu propelled wuxia films into mainstream consciousness by combining his passion for traditional Peking opera and Japanese samurai cinema, ushering in a new era of action filmmaking throughout the 60s and 70s and revolutionising the landscape of genre film for decades to come. Imprint Asia is thrilled to celebrate the transformative work of King Hu with two volumes exploring the legacy and influence of his extensive filmography. In this first volume, go on a journey of fantasy, folklore, and supernatural spectacle with six Hong Kong and Taiwanese classics. This Limited Edition 10-disc release is packed with brand NEW and archival Special Features, including an exclusive Bonus Disc, plus a 100-page Hardcover Booklet featuring brand NEW essays from Ryan Swen, Tom Cunliffe, and Tony Williams, all housed in a Lid Hardbox. Strictly limited to 1500 copies only. SONS OF GOOD EARTH (1965) The year is 1937, just prior to the Japanese invasion of China. Painters Ju Rui and Lao San stumble upon He Hua, a woman sold into the sex industry at a local brothel. Made at the great Shaw Brothers studios, Sons of Good Earth was King Hu's first major directorial effort, and won the 1966 Golden Horse Awards for both Best Screenplay and Best Editing. Loosely based on the novel The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, the film stars Peter Chen Ho, Betty Loh Ti, Li Kun (Fist of Fury), and King Hu himself. C
