Beach Of The War Gods Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Kung fu innovator Jimmy Wang Yu (The Chinese Boxer) mixes wuxia chaos with Seven Samurai in Beach of the War Gods.

During the final days of the Ming dynasty, Japanese marauders plunder villages along the Chinese coast. A wandering swordsman (Wang Yu) single-handedly defeats a group of the invading villains and joins in to help defend the town. He assembles a team of highly skilled warriors, including the mercenary and knife thrower Leng Ping (Tien Yeh, Blood of the Dragon) and the hot-headed swordsman Iron Bull Chao (Hsieh Han, One Armed Boxer). Together, they train the townspeople to stand up to the pirates with strategy and skill. When the army launches an all-out attack on the town, a fierce battle ensues, leading to the final conflict on the beach of the war gods.

Beach of the War Gods celebrates its 50th anniversary and is one of Jimmy Wang Yu's best films, a fast-paced historical adventure with lots of wild action.
