REAP THE WHIRLWIND: FOUR FILMS WITH ANGELA MAO (Eureka Classics) Limited Edition Three-disc Blu-ray

One of the greatest action stars ever produced by the Hong Kong film industry, Angela Mao enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in the 1970s following her leading roles in Hapkido, Lady Whirlwind and When Taekwondo Strikes, as well as her appearance alongside Bruce Lee in the breakout kung fu hit Enter the Dragon. Collected here are four standout films produced during the first decade of her career:The Angry River, Stoner, The Tournament and The Himalayan.

In The Angry River – the very first film produced by Golden Harvest – Mao plays the daughter of a nobleman who is mortally wounded by the evil Lunar Sect. Having obtained a rare herb capable of healing her father, she returns to her ancestral home prepared for battle. Stoner (also known as The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss), sees Mao’s secret agent team up with a tough Australian cop (George Lazenby) to bring down a drug trafficking ring. Then, in The Tournament, Mao sets out to avenge her father – the master of a martial arts school – after he is killed in cold blood by a gang of extortionists. Finally, The Himalayan casts Mao as the bride-to-be in a wedding orchestrated by a scheming murderer who intends to steal everything from her family.

All written and directed by an unsung talent in Huang Feng, the Angela Mao vehicles collected here illustrate the trajectory of her career from her earliest roles to superstardom. Eureka Classics is proud to present all four films for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK.
