THE MAN FROM HONG KONG
(1975) When Australian police undercover a massive drug smuggling ring
with connections to Hong Kong, they fly in master crime fighter Jimmy
Wang Yu (MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE) to take care of business.
Between white-knuckle car chases, brutal kung fu fights, and
hair-raising stunts, Jimmy also finds time to seduce every woman in
sight. Former James Bond actor George Lazenby plays the villain, and
he's a slimy mustachioed expert of white boy martial arts. This movie is
filled with non-stop excitement, beautiful hang-gliding women, and
insane stunt work (by stunt coordinators Sammo Hung and Aussie wild man
Grant Page, the man behind MAD MAX). Not to be missed in this rare
big-screen appearance!
Brian Trenchard-Smith is a director most
famous for his 70's and 80's Australian action films, including STUNT
ROCK, BMX BANDITS, DEAD END DRIVE-IN and THE MAN FROM HONG KONG. He's
known for making large-scale movies on small-scale budgets, and Quentin
Tarantino lists him as one of his favorite directors of all time.
