‘Odd Couple’ on Blu-ray March 21, 2022!
Widely considered the greatest classical weapons movie ever made, Odd Couple stars Sammo Hung, Lau Kar-wing (also directing) and Bryan “Beardy” Leung Kar-yan (Dreadnaught, The Victim) in a classic tale of rivalry and vengeance. Two aging masters of the spear and sword engage in an epic mountaintop battle every ten years, but the outcome invariably ends in a draw.
