The best of the Chinese and Japanese fighting styles are put to the test in this Shaw Brothers classic from legendary director Lau Kar-Leung (The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin). Gordon Liu (Kill Bill films) stars as a Chinese martial arts student struggling to relate to his new Japanese wife. When a series of martial misunderstandings spirals into an international incident, he's forced to take on seven of Japan's most powerful martial arts masters, each an expert in a different discipline, ranging from karate to samurai to ninjitsu. As relevant, fun, and unpredictable now as the day it was made, Heroes Of The East combines 'meticulous fight choreography with compelling storytelling' (Kung Fu Cinema) to make a timelessly entertaining film.
