Established independent distributor of "old school" martial arts movies, Soulblade Distribution, has joined forces with the UK's premier distributor of budget DVDs, Prism Leisure, to create a brand new DVD label 55th Chamber. Launching in April 2006, 55th Chamber will be dedicated to releasing the very best of Hong Kong's old school martial arts films, all retailing at the fan- and collector-friendly price of £7.99.
The first three films, to be released on 24th April, will be Sam Cheung's violent historical epic Death Duel of Kung Fu (starring Wong Tao, Han Ying and Liu Chung-Liang), Lau Kar-leung's martial arts actioner Prodigal Boxer 2: Secret of Shaolin Poles (starring Meng Fei, Delon Tam and Shoji Karada) and Lu Po Tu's comedy adventure My Kung Fu 12 Kicks (starring Bruce Leung and Guk Fung).
