Plot Sypnosis:


More than four decades ago, "one of the strangest and most shocking martial arts movies ever witnessed" (DVD Talk) drove 42nd Street audiences into a stunned frenzy. Today it remains an "amazing" (Severed Cinema), "genuinely jaw-dropping" (High Def Digest) "undisputed masterpiece" (Grindhouse Database), and is officially licensed on disc in North America for the first time: When a cruel crime boss chops off the arms of a peasant (Sung-Chuan Shen aka Frankie Shum, who was born with Thalidomide Syndrome) and acid-dissolves the lower limbs of a henchman (Chao-Ming Kang aka Jackie Conn, born with small, deformed legs), the two disabled men train under a mysterious master to combine themselves into one unstoppable fighting machine and battle their way to vengeance. Chung Chien Li (THE GUY WITH THE SECRET KUNG FU) and Chen Mu-Chuan (THE IRON MONKEY) co-star in "the FREAKS of martial arts cinema" (1000 Misspent Hours) directed by Chi Lo aka Joe Law (THE DRAGON LIVES AGAIN), newly scanned in 4K from the interpositive with 3 hours of revealing Special Features produced exclusively for this release.
