Hello Dracula 2:Son of the Vampire (1987) "A massive step up from the mediocre first film. All the staples of a good children's film: nudity, nun murder, piss drinking, flatulence, gore, hero child dynamite suicide to take down a hopping vampire, animal violence, etc. Fun for the entire family!"

The Beasts (1980) IMO one of the best CAT III horror films ever - Last House On The Left meets Deliverance & The Hills Have Eyes - The beautiful countryside & island setting are a stark contrast to the brutal & grim nature of this cult classic

The 3-D Army (1989) "A evil Taoist hunchback, a 4-year-old hopping vampire/jiangshi known as "Zomby", off-road unicycling, possessed wall scrolls, bubble-blowing harlequin demons on swing sets, gallons of urine, all the flying heads, synthesized farting and laser beams a boy could ever ask for."

Woman Killers Rampage (1993) By far the best part of this Hong Kong cult obscurity is Sophia M. Crawford (The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer stuntwoman) randomly appearing for the finale alongside Japanese bodybuilder Michiko Nishiwaki, as a Taoist ghost buster!

Thunderclap (1984) High energy Shaw Brothers martial arts madness - "100% my kind of nonsense. Leung plays a guy who eats a magic pigeon, gets struck by lightning, and somehow this succession of events enables him to fly and shoot electricity out of his hands like Raiden from Mortal Kombat."

Why did the Shaw Brothers never make any adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Esp when they were making countless film treatments of the other 4 Classic Chinese Novels during the 60s and 70s?

3 Upvotes

Having just watched a Shaw Brother movie of Water Margin and I have seen one of their Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber treatments a while back. Which I didn't know they had multiple films made from the latter two which I only discovered today looking at Wikipedia.

What I have noticed from googling online and searching on Wikipedia is that a cinematic interpretation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was never made by Shaw Bros.

Which I have to ask why? Considering the three other of the four classic novels of China have been made multiple times on films during the Shaw Brother's peak in 1960-1980?

Sure Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a much grander epic story but considering they managed to remake Journey to the West multiple times, I can't see why they couldn't make an effective condensed script of Three Kingdoms which their multiple Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin adaptations managed to do!
