Director
Lee Tso Nam established himself with 'old-school' Martial Arts films
(his SHAOLIN
VS LAMA is generally considered one of the best ever made),
today he is better known [and appreciated] for his erotic exploitation
(KILLING
IN THE NUDE), frantic actioners (LUNATIC
FROG WOMEN), and brain-warping fantasies (MAGIC
WARRIORS). After 40+ films, he is still active today directing
movies in Beijing under the name Li Zuonan.
