Storyline
Did you know
- Alternate versionsThe film was extensively cut by the BBFC for its original 1978 cinema release with edits to nearly all of the fight scenes. Among the cuts were shots of blood dripping from the mouths of fight victims, groin kicks and punches, stomach crushes and all references to pressure points on the human body.
- ConnectionsEdited into Heugpyobigaeg (1977)
Featured review
Usually anything associated with Godfrey Ho (who helped produce this film and had a role in it) means cheap and rather tacky if sometimes fun. But this neglected film (it deserves a good new release in my opinion) and the director Shao-Peng Chen put together a good cast with higher production values than usual. It looks like it was made in Korea and the settings are really beautiful at times and the costumes (particularly Doris Chen's hat!) are well done (though Cassonova Wong's early version of a 'Mao' suit is a bit dull, though no doubt designed to represent his official role). Carter Wong is always worth watching and all the fights are well done with 'Doris' giving a good account of her skills. Not in anyone's list of top 10 films, but well worth watching and I hope a new restored version will be released in the future to a wider audience.
