Viewing Notes
The print wasn’t the greatest: compressed 4x3 presentation with washed out colors and dubbed; but totally worth it for the excellent fighting sequences! Some of the best martial arts action sequences I’ve seen in my “I Must Avenge My Master” project this year. I’d love to see this restored and released on Blu-ray.
