The American Genre Film Archive has provided us with a promotional trailer for a brand new 2K restoration of Gordon Liu's Shaolin Vs. Wu tang (1983). Preliminary plans for an upcoming Blu-ray release have not yet been revealed.
Description: When an evil lord schemes to learn the secrets of Shaolin kung fu and Wu Tang sword by pitting the two schools against each other, it's up to their top two students to team up to stop him from becoming the supreme master. The film that gave the Wu-Tang Clan its name (not to mention some of its most famous samples), SHAOLIN VS. WU TANG features all the hallmarks of the best of kung fu cinema: exhilarating fights, training montages, and an elaborate, abstract title sequence that could double for a modern dance performance.
Starring and directed by martial arts legend Gordon Liu and featuring action choreography by Lau Kar-leung, SHAOLIN VS. WU TANG smashes and slashes back in a new 2K preservation from the only known 35mm print in existence.
