DUEL FOR GOLD REVIEW

I recently reviewed one of my favorites Chor Yuen movies, Duel for Gold, over at easternKicks. I am very excited about this review because Duel for Gold has been so hard to find in recent years. But it is now presently available in in Blu-ray in the Shaw Brothers Classics Volume 6. I am hoping this means it will be available for individual purchase in the near future (boxed set are great, but pricey and I think this is a classic film that really stands on its own). What is great about Duel for Gold is it is a kind of wuxia heist film, where the characters are almost all terrible people at each other's throats over the score. Like The Black Tavern, it will remind people of The Hateful Eight, but also Goodfellas. It has a great cast that includes Lo Lieh, Ivy Ling Po and Wang Ping, and has plenty of gruesome action. For me Duel for Gold is one of those wuxia movies that breaks out of the genre and feels more timeless. You can check out my review of it HERE.
