Viewing Notes
This movie should be in the Eureka Joseph Kuo box set. Really not sure why it isn’t because it’s probably his most famous film.
This is another Kung Fu Robber disc. The transfer is pretty good. It has the original burned in Mandarin/English subs so you’re stuck with the original English translations which can leave a little to be desired in terms of accuracy. But that doesn’t detract from the action on screen.
Kuan-Wu Lung is great as the Ghost Face Killer.
