British label 88 Films has revealed that it plans to add to its Blu-ray catalog Chen Chi-Hwa's Half a Loaf of Kung Fu (1978), starring Jackie Chan, Lung Chun-Erh, and Chin Cheng-Lan. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: Jackie Chan plays the part of Jiang, an orphan who is neither good in the literary nor the martial arts. Nevertheless, he's a happy-go-lucky fellow with an amiable personality. Saintly beggar Mao, who was a Kung Fu Master, is impressed by Jiang's earnest demeanor and takes Jiang as a student. Jiang joins the Sern Chuan Bodyguards, who have been entrusted with the task of escorting the priceless Evergreen Jade to safekeeping. Outnumbered by an army of ruthless highwaymen, the Sern Chuan sustain heavy losses during their long and grueling journey. Undaunted, Jiang refuses to admit defeat, and with only the spirit of Mao to guide him, singlehandedly defeats the enemy horde.
