Gordon Liu's Kung Fu movies are PEAK. 36 Chambers is like Kung Fu Rocky
Agreed! 🙏 He's the GOAT.
Was about to recommend that film! Absolute classic! Netflix had so many of the good old kung fu films. Binged so many of them in a month!
An epic Shaw Brothers revenge-o-matic with tons of kinetic action.

You had me at "Shaw Brothers".
