Kick'em In The Ghoulies

Old School Kung Fu or Gung Fu as many say, is a a period in Asian cinema history that gave us many traditional stories as films from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest turned out film after film about Legendary folk heroes and tales of the past Chinese histories.

Other stories evolved around the student teacher scenario or a evil Kung Fu master who would go around killing people and the hero who at all costs would stop him.Many of these films where turned out in Taiwan and as well and many within budget studios who had their own stars to earn money at the box office.
