Eureka and Shaw Brothers showcase THE MAGNIFICENT CHANG CHEH (review)

THE MAGNIFICENT CHANG CHEH presents two films from opposite ends of his career at Shaw Brothers.  In THE MAGNIFICENT TRIO, three fighters get caught up in the corrupt deeds of a local magistrate and the efforts of the villagers to fight back.  In MAGNIFICENT WANDERERS, a Robin Hood-style nobleman teams up with a trio of con men to take on the Mongol prince who brutally rules over his village.  David Chiang, Alexander Fu Sheng, Lo Lieh, and Jimmy Wang Yu star.
