Trivia: Early in the film, the character Jason finds the DVD Guangdong shi hu xing yi wu xi (1980) in Hop’s pawn shop. ‘The Ten Tigers of Kwangtung’ (English title) is often regarded by martial arts film experts as the ultimate Shaw Brothers martial arts film, because it features a star-studded cast of legendary martial arts actors including ‘Ti Lung’, ‘Alexander Fu Sheng’ and major and supporting actors from The Venom Mob (which includes all six principle actors from The Five Venoms). The film also featured a younger generation of Shaw Brothers actors and was meant as a way to “pass the torch” from then-veteran Shaw Brothers actors to the new generation of actors. Shaw Brothers films rarely featured so many star actors in one film, and ‘The Ten Tigers of Kwangtung’ was one of the few films to do so.
