Lee also stars as a monster vigilante issuing vicious justice in Ho Meng-hua's creeptastic Oily Maniac and as the prince granted magical powers in Pao Hsueh-li's fantastical wuxia Battle Wizard. Director Ho next treats us to a double-helping of occult mayhem with Black Magic and its sequel, where Ti Lung battles wicked voodoo doctors with the power to cast spells and raise the dead. Four more doses of unhinged madness follow from Kuei Chih-hung in the form of Bewitched and the Hex trilogy, an unforgettable quadruple serving of possession and witchcraft that presaged his notorious brain-melting classic The Boxer's Omen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster filmmaker Chor Yuen adds a hefty dose of horror to his trademark wuxia-mystery style in Bat Without Wings, in which a young sword fighter must end a deranged martial arts master-turned-multiple murderer's perverted rampage. Hua Shan returns with Bloody Parrot, an eye-poppingly vivid horror fantasy about two swordsmen hunting a demon that offers to grant wishes, only to leave a messy trail of destruction in its wake. Lau Kar-wing's kung fu jiangshi comedy The Fake Ghost Catchers sees two conmen unwittingly enlisted to battle spirits from the underworld, while Tang Tak-cheung's hair-raising wuxia fantasia Demon of the Lute has to be seen to be believed. Yang Chuen's gruesome splatterfest Seeding of a Ghost has a taxi driver enlist a necromancer's help in avenging the murder of his wife, with sickening results; and Hua Shan returns with Portrait in Crystal, a deliriously imaginative tale of a murderous swordswoman brought to life through a crystal sculpture. Last but not least, Alex Cheung's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is an out-of-this-world comedy in which city girl Cherie Chung is abducted by aliens and taken to a galaxy far, far away...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom slimy creatures to supernatural wizardry to sex-crazed serial killers, the biggest collection in Arrow Video's Shawscope series yet features sixteen of the wildest and weirdest films the company ever made, gorgeously restored in all their gory glory with an amazing array of never-seen-before bonus features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY COLLECTION CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentations of all sixteen films, all newly restored in 2K from the original negatives by Arrow Films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated 60-page collectors' booklet featuring new writing by David West, Jonathan Clements and Grady Hendrix, plus cast and crew listings and notes on each film by Ian Jane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew artwork by Matt Frank \u0026amp; Jolyon Yates, Mike Lee-Graham, Chris Malbon and Ilan Sheady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE - SUPER INFRAMAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly restored lossless Mandarin, Cantonese and English mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles, plus optional hard-of-hearing subtitles for the English dub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOption to view the film in its US theatrical version, Infra-man, with lossless \"Stereo-Infra-Sound\" surround audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new commentary by martial arts cinema experts Frank Djeng \u0026amp; Erik Ko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaws' Little Dragon, a newly filmed interview with co-star Bruce Le\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper Ultra Infra Action!, a brand new video essay on Shaws' tokusatsu films written and narrated by Steven Sloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheatrical trailers, TV spots and radio spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC TWO - OILY MANIAC \/ BATTLE WIZARD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly restored lossless Mandarin mono for both films, plus English mono for Battle Wizard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles for both films, plus optional hard-of-hearing subtitles for the English dub on Battle Wizard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new commentary on Oily Maniac by critic Ian Jane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new commentary on Battle Wizard by Jonathan Clements, author of A Brief History of the Martial Arts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC THREE - BLACK MAGIC \/ BLACK MAGIC PART 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly restored lossless Mandarin and English mono audio for both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles for both films, plus optional hard-of-hearing subtitles for the English dubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new commentary for Black Magic by critic James Mudge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new commentary for Black Magic Part 2 by critic Samm Deighan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate US opening for Black Magic Part 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC FOUR - HEX \/ BEWITCHED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly restored lossless Cantonese and Mandarin mono audio for both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles for both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new commentary for Bewitched by critic James Mudge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC FIVE - HEX VS.
