Super Spies And Secret Lies [Blu-ray]

Super Spies And Secret Lies Blu-ray explores the Shaw Brothers Studios response to the global Bondmania phenomenon of the 1960s, delivering a trio of stylish, fast-moving Hong Kong spy thrillers packed with intrigue, disguises, gadgetry, and criminal conspiracies. As James Bond swept international screens, Shaw Brothers filtered the super-spy craze through their own distinct studio style, blending espionage, crime capers, and pop spectacle.

This special-edition set brings together three standout entries from the cycle. In The Golden Buddha, a mistaken briefcase pulls an ordinary businessman into a deadly criminal plot. Angel with the Iron Fists follows a mysterious woman entangled with stolen diamonds and a ruthless gang. The Singing Thief centers on a charismatic cat burglar attempting to go straight, only to find himself implicated in jewel robberies. Directed by Lo Wei and Chang Cheh, the films showcase Shaw Brothers craftsmanship applied to secret agents, master thieves, and international intrigue.

Presented by Eureka Classics, all three films are available on Blu-ray for the first time from HD masters supplied by Celestial Pictures. This limited edition release includes extensive new commentaries, interviews, and a collector’s booklet examining the global spy-film craze and its Hong Kong interpretation.
