Australian label Imprint Films has provided a promotional trailer for Shan Hua's Portrait in Crystal (1983). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 28.
Description: The master of the modern day crime thriller lends his directing skills to this amazing kung-fu crime fantasy. Hua Shan impressed audiences with such films as The Criminals trilogy, then dazzled them in an entirely different way by helming the superheroic Super Inframan and Flying Guillotine 2.
He combines those two genres in this adventure of a mystical mass murderer loose in the underworld. Pai Piao, long the favorite "go-to guy" for most of Shaw Brothers' best kung-fu filmmakers, shines as the star in this unusual and popular epic.
A noble martial artist discovers that a living statue trained in the art of assassination is responsible for a series of killings in the underworld, and that more murderous statues are on their way if he doesn't stop them.
