Film Movement will introduce theatrically and on Blu-ray a brand new 2K restoration of director Kin Hu's classic film The Fate of Lee Khan (1973). The Blu-ray release will be available for purchase this July.
Synopsis: In his follow-up to the critically acclaimed A Touch of Zen, trailblazing filmmaker King Hu brings together an all-star female cast, including Hong Kong cinema stalwart Li Li-hua and Angela "Lady Kung Fu" Mao, in this lively martial arts adventure.
When Lee Khan, a powerful general of the oppressive Yuan Dynasty, procures the battle map of the Chinese rebel army, resistance fighters, aided by an undercover girl-gang, strive to corner him at an inn. Featuring stunning action sequences choreographed by Jackie Chan's "Kung Fu elder brother" Sammo Hung and a generous mix of intrigue and humor, The Fate of Lee Khan is a legendary wuxia masterpiece.
*The new restoration will open this Friday at the Metrograph in New York City.
