WEBSITE : "THE 14 AMAZONS" SB GREATEST MASTERPIECE

[Chrisviolet]

<br>A new website "THE 14 AMAZONS" is born ! <br><br>http://amazons.site.voila.fr/<br><br>This historico-martial peplum "THE 14 AMAZONS" involves an outstanding budget, an intensive two-year shooting, gathering (almost) all the greatest superstars of the Shaw and thousands of cameo parts (special effects did not exist at that time). <br>Sir Run Run Shaw invests no less than what is actually worth in terms of money in the production of this historical piece tribute to the valiant warriors from the (governmental) Yang family that protect the Kingdom of China from the invasions of the Mongolian army. All the Chinese people on this planet know and look up to these heroes and heroines, who have risked their lives for the sake of their country. <br><br>In 1972, this peplum reached a new record at the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and throughout Southeast Asia. Therefore, the critics gave the movie endless credits and praised the film-maker’s talent ! In 1973, at the Asian Film Festival, "THE 14 AMAZONS" was awarded the first prize for the best screenplay and Lily Ho was honored as the best actress for playing the role of Yang Wen Kuan, the warrior. Some more trophies for this movie are still to be checked… <br><br>Christopher Violet<br><br><br><br>
