THE HIMALAYAN (1976)
After she's framed for adultery by her wicked brother-in-law Tseng Ching Lam (Angela Mao, Invincible Eight) takes to the hills to plot her revenge!
The Himalayan is a breathtaking blend of revenge, mysticism, and martial arts mastery from director Huang Feng (The Angry River), starring the incomparable Angela Mao (Invincible Eight)--the First Lady of Kung Fu. Set against the stunning mountain vistas of Nepal, this 1976 Shaw-era classic follows Tseng Ching Lam (Mao), a noblewoman betrayed and falsely accused of adultery by her devious brother-in-law. Fleeing into exile, she vows vengeance and begins her transformation by mastering the secret Tibetan fighting art of Mi--a discipline of spiritual strength and deadly precision.
Backed by the iconic fight choreography of Sammo Hung, The Himalayan delivers the bone-crunching action and emotional depth that define the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. Combining the beauty of its high-altitude landscapes with the intensity of Mao's fierce screen presence, the film transcends the typical revenge saga to explore themes of honor, perseverance, and inner awakening.
This stunning Blu-ray release from 88 Films features a 2K restoration from the original negative, preserving the film's rich color palette and kinetic fight sequences in pristine detail. Bonus materials include an O-ring slipcase with striking new artwork by Aurelio Lorenzo, the remastered original Mandarin monaural soundtrack, newly translated English subtitles, an optional English mono track, and an expert audio commentary by Asian cinema historian Frank Djeng. Also included are an image gallery and a reversible sleeve featuring the original Hong Kong poster artwork.
An unsung gem of the '70s martial arts canon, The Himalayan stands tall as both a spiritual journey and an action-packed showcase for Angela Mao's unparalleled screen power.
