Science fiction fans worldwide know that Hong Kong-style sci-fi dazzles like no other. Alien abductions, platoons of imaginative monsters, suicide pacts, and outlandish sets and costumes are all part and parcel of Shaw Brothers science fiction and fantasy offerings.

In addition, one can see the precursor to Hollywood fantasy movies in the unique combination of martial arts and fantasy in films such as Holy Flame of the Martial World, Descendant of the Sun, and The Hidden Power of Dragon Sabre.
