Broken Oath (1977) – New Remastered Blu-ray Coming Soon From Eureka


Eureka in the UK has announced the remastered Blu-ray release of the Angela Mao classic Broken Oath co-starring Bruce Leung and Chan Wai Man.

A Hong Kong take on Japan’s Lady SnowbloodBroken Oath is an action-packed tale of righteous vengeance starring the first lady of kung fu cinema: the inimitable Angela Mao!

Orphaned and angry, Lotus (Mao) is raised by Buddhist nuns before she is exiled for her violent ways – and skipping classes to improve her martial arts skills. Finding herself alone in the world, she quickly comes to discover the truth of her past: that her father was once a respected member of the Imperial Court who was murdered in cold blood, and that her mother gave birth to her in a jail cell after being unjustly imprisoned for killing one of the culprits.

With revenge on her mind and a newfound accomplice in tow (Bruce Leung), she sets out to track down the men responsible for tearing her family apart – armed with both her considerable martial arts prowess and a nest of scorpions with which to poison her enemies.
