The Ruthless Eunuch (东厂喋血)(1988)

The Ruthless Eunuch (东厂喋血)
Dir: Mei Yu, Ren Ke
Cast: Du Yulu, Liang Boluo, Li Ying
Plot: End of the Ming dynasty, Wei Zhongxian takes over all the power. Yang Lian ( a scholar who represents the East forestry) accepts to take a journey to the south, but Wei Zhongxian hires "Black Monkey" as assassin in order to stop Yang Lian who is investigating about Wei Zhongxian's crimes. Deep in the night Yang Lian is assaulted but luckily he was saved by Shen Jianmei...
Year: 1988
Country: Mainland China 
Notes: The movie has not been released on any legit dvd/vcds in Mainland China (only broadcasted on CCTV). For both directors this is the only and last martial arts movie they directed. The same goes for the cast.
Personal opinion: A really unknown martial arts flick. We came across this title while surfing the net and the poster caught our attention (we really like this kind of posters). So we began to search more infos as possible about this flick, unfortunately there is none. We hope that it will get a legit release soon because as far as we saw it s quite worth it.
