Viewing Notes

I think this is on Prime too but what the fuck, decided to watch DKU-TV’s stream of it today. I finally hooked up the laptop and watched it in the home theater and it looked excellent, although the sound is all in the front speakers. I don’t know if the sound is because of streaming through Twitch.tv or because it’s a ‘70s movie.

I’m really gonna have to buy the Eureka set of this and LAST HURRAH FOR CHIVALRY as I enjoyed this film quite a bit. It was great seeing Jackie Chan in a mostly straight role and the fight choreography was excellent. Apparently he, Hung and Yuen Bao did all the fight choreography as well. Tao-Liang Tan is the star here and his performance is great. I’m sure I’ve seen him in other stuff before but not recalling the films.
