Slapdash director Joseph Kuo worked in several martial arts genres and four of his films are represented here. In 7 GRAND MASTERS, a grand master cannot retire until he is assured of his position, challenging seven other grand masters to the title. In THE 36 DEADLY STYLES, a warrior monk breaks his vow not to use his skills to kill when a young man is threatened by killers. In THE WORLD OF DRUNKEN MASTER, two aged martial artists reflect on their training and the love of their lives as they prepare for a final battle against a powerful enemy. In THE OLD MASTER, an aged grandmaster visits one of his students in San Francisco to discover that one of his old students is misusing his fighting skill and finds a promising new pupil.
