Netflixed the classic "36th Chamber of Shaolin", and the new release contains trailers for several other Shaw Brothers movies. One title - Shaolin Mantis - caught my eye as Christina's Old Master is an expert in the Path of the Preying Mantis. I am disheartened that this trailer is not on Youtube (there is the classic trailer, but not this one), as it is very, very strange. Rather than discussing the movie or plot, the actors and director tell you about the various Kung Fu and weapon styles displayed in the movie, with their history and examples. The whole thing feels like one of those old Alcoa commercials that let you know all the wonderful things made possible by Aluminum. 

If anyone can find this on the web, please direct me. My Google Fu is weak, but I think the House of the Dragon players need to see it.
