Zatoichi Meets the One-Armed Swordsman

An essential rediscovery for movie fans and martial arts maniacs! Be one of the very first audiences in more than 50 years to experience this ultra-rare, one-of-a-kind 35mm print of the long-thought-lost Chinese version of the film, featuring a variety of changes, alternate footage, and a different ending!

It’s East meets East when one of Japan’s action idols crosses paths with an iconic kung-fu hero from Hong Kong. While traveling the countryside, Zatoichi comes across Wang Kang (Jimmy Wang Yu), a Chinese swordsman protecting a brutally orphaned young child. Despite the language barrier, the men forge a friendship, until nefarious enemies plant seeds of distrust to pit the two master martial artists against each other. (Janus)

Blood of the Dragon

To alleviate the burden of his past as a mercenary, Lung Ti (Jimmy Wang) puts his life on the line to assist an orphan on a quest to deliver a list of rebel supporters to the palace. Lung Ti, known to all as “White Dragon”, has enemies in high places, including the evil Prime Minister, and Prince Ma Tang, whose father died shortly after suffering a humiliating defeat to White Dragon. Armed with only a spear, and having most of the region hunting for him and the rebel list, White Dragon must show his young companion true grit and perseverance if they hope to survive.
