Super Spies and Secret Lies: Three Undercover Classics [Blu-ray / Limited Edition]
Triple bill of Hong Kong espionage action produced by the Shaw Brothers. In ‘The Golden Buddha’ (1966) businessman Paul Cheung (Paul Chang Chung) accidentally switches briefcases with his friend. When he discovers that his friend has been murdered, Cheung finds a small golden Buddha inside the briefcase along with a partial set of instructions to the location of a hidden treasure.

She wins the trust of the Chief (Tina Chin-Fei) and becomes a key part of their latest scheme but if her true motives for getting close to the Chief are discovered, she will be in terrible danger.
Finally, ‘The Singing Thief’ (1969) follows reformed jewel thief Diamond Poon (Jimmy Lin Chong) who has left a life of crime behind to become a singer. However, when a series of thefts similar to his past crimes are committed, he becomes the prime suspect and must fight to clear his name.
