Viewing Notes
Watched the original 120 minute version from 1976 (it was edited down to 83 minutes and re-released in 1980). A sequel almost in name only, with an ensemble cast that doesn’t heavily focus more on Chan until the later half of the movie. The fight scenes are more “realistic” than say, the more choreographed Shaw Brothers films, and get brutal in the final battle.
Nora Miao and Chan Sing are both great as well.
