- Synopsis:
Following the enormous international success of 'Dr. No' and 'From Russia with Love', Bondmania swept the globe and initiated a cycle of Bondsploitation movies. Studios all over the world sought to capitalise on James Bond and the concept of the super-spy - including Hong Kong's venerable Shaw Brothers, who began producing tales of intrigue, espionage, and grand theft in the mid-1960s. Eureka Classics presents three of their best in this special-edition set: 'The Golden Buddha', 'Angel with the Iron Fists' and 'The Singing Thief'. In 'The Golden Buddha' (1966), businessman Paul (Paul Chang Chung) finds himself in the crosshairs of the Skeleton Gang after he picks up the wrong briefcase on a flight to Singapore - one containing a small golden Buddha that might just play a part in a vast criminal conspiracy. In 'Angel with the Iron Fists' (1967), a mysterious woman (Lily Ho) arrives in Hong Kong carrying a cache of stolen diamonds and quickly becomes embroiled with the infamous Devil Girl's Gang. Finally, in 'The Singing Thief' (1969), a master cat burglar (Jimmy Lin Chong) makes the decision to go straight and pursue a new career as a singer - that is, at least, until he becomes a suspect in a series of jewel heists. - Actors:
