45th Anniversary 2K Restoration!Before the heroic bloodshed of A BETTER TOMORROW and THE KILLER, John Woo began his career directing martial arts films for Hong Kong’s two biggest studios, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. Woo’s most notable foray into the wuxia genre was a blood-soaked tribute to his legendary mentor Chang Cheh (THE FIVE DEADLY VENOMS), featuring Wai Pak (THE PRODIGAL SON), and Damian Lau (DUEL TO THE DEATH) as two swordsmen hired to protect a local merchant from a ruthless kung fu master played by the late Lee Hoi-Sang (THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN). Showcasing all the hallmarks we love about the ‘Godfather of Gun Fu’ — sleak, stylish action and gloriously violent redemption — LAST HURRAH FOR CHIVALRY reminds us why John Woo is regarded as the greatest living director of emotionally-complex and dynamic action films.
