The Cinema Of King Hu Vol One 1965-1973 LE Hardbox 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray celebrates the transformative work of writer-director King Hu with six Hong Kong and Taiwanese classics from 1965 to 1973. This Australian import release from Imprint Asia includes Sons of Good Earth, Come Drink With Me, Dragon Inn, Four Moods, A Touch Of Zen and The Fate of Lee Khan.

King Huā€™s films helped bring wuxia into mainstream cinema by combining traditional Peking opera, Japanese samurai cinema, folklore, supernatural spectacle and groundbreaking action staging. Across these six films, the collection traces his evolution from early Shaw Brothers drama to landmark martial arts cinema and genre-defining works that reshaped action filmmaking for decades.

This Limited Edition 10-disc Hardbox includes three 4K UHD discs, seven Blu-rays, a bonus disc of King Hu material and a 100-page hardcover booklet. Limited to 1,500 copies, the set features brand-new and archival special features, new commentaries, video essays, interviews, restorations, trailers and optional English subtitles.
