Just finished watching The Man From Hong Kong (again). Its a co australian/hong kong production starring Jimmy Wang Yu and George Lazenby directed by Brain Trenchard-Smith and with fight choegraphy by Sammo Hung.
They dont make action films like this any more, there's tonnes of car chases, kung fu fighting galore (even though it's a little slow and clunky by todays standards) and some truely death defying stunts.
Stand out scenes include an epic bral between Wang Yu and Aussie stuntman extrodinare Grant Page, Sammo Hung in a cameo being chased to the the top of Aires Rock by an aussie cop and having a fist fight on the summit and George Lazenby on fire!!!
And thats only some of the Action! A real treat for fans of the genre.
