Disciples of Shaolin (DVD – IVL)

By Mark Pollard | Published November 17, 2008

This Hong Kong DVD release of the Shaw Brothers kung fu classic DISCIPLES OF SHAOLIN features the typically minimal, yet reliable package one expects from Intercontinental Video Limited post 2003.

Poster Art

Productions Notes - A basic description of the film.

you know mark, i often wonder why dvd companies even put in "production notes" considering most of the time it is just a brief synopsis of the film. i guess they just try to beef up their special features, but jesus....like we wouldnt know this by watching the film
