The Goddess of Mercy
Guan shi yin / Hong Kong / South Korea / 1967

An early collaboration between Shaw Bros. (Hong Kong) and Shin Films (South Korea), this film was shot in two versions simultaneously — once in Mandarin, once in Korean — with two different casts and two different directors.

The bizarre, pseudo-Buddhist martyr scene, in which the heroine tears her own eyes out, is a must-see.
