Description

Descendant of the Sun (1983) (BD)

Release Date: Nov 28, 2025

Shek Sang has quite a dilemma. Born inside a glowing rock and discovered by a meager carpenter who raised him, he became aware of his otherworldly powers early on. When he defeats a pack of soldiers forcefully rounding up laborers, he finds a way into the Princess's compound to escape being hunted down. The Prince Regent, eager to realize his secret Intelligence Nation agenda of slaughtering any baby he deems unintelligent, is plotting to kill his niece, the Princess, in his quest for power and a nation of pure intelligence. Now, aware of the evil danger threatening the Princess, yet unable to divulge to her his true identity, Shek Sang plays the role of a lowly houseboy and bird-trainer for her parrot. As the Prince Regent discovers an equally powerful Evil Baby with which to challenge Shek Sang, and the Princess falls in love with his alter ego, a reckoning is looming.

A deliriously entertaining epic of Chinese folklore, Hercules and Superman tropes, dynamic fight sequences, and Wuxia fantasy that could only could come from Shaw Brothers, DESCENDANT OF THE SUN stars Derek Yee (Buddha's Palm, director of Viva Erotica), Cherie Chung (Once a Thief, Peking Opera Blues), and Tien-Hsiang Lung (Five Element Ninjas, House of Traps). Directed by Chor Yuen (The Magic Blade, Haunted Tales), it features stunning photography by Lam Wah-Chiu (The Seventh Curse), as well as excellent stuntwork from Tang Chia (One-Armed Swordsman) and Yuen Wah (Enter the Dragon). Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to bring you this wild, underseen adventure, newly scanned in 2K from its original camera negative, and featuring its original, unaltered film-sourced soundtrack.
