Watched THE MAN FROM HONG KONG and LONG WEEKEND last night.
Must've been Mick Dundee on film 4 that put me in the mood.

Was flicking between the commentary on TMFHK and Trenchard-Smith is (unnecessarily) too harsh on himself.
IT'S AN ACTION CLASSIC with a cracking theme song!

I watched the interviews with the cast-apparently Wang Yu was a total wanker!
Having watched this film on numerous occassions,yeah he actually does come across as a rather smug bastard!
However,the action sequences and stunts more than compensate for his lack of screen charisma.

LONG WEEKEND is one of the best movies ever to emerge from down under.
The sense of isolation,eerieness and tension as the two reprehensible main characters abuse mother nature is top notch stuff.If you haven't got this classic from Second Sight Films,then you need to remedy this immediately!
