Viewing Notes
Another fairly competent movie from Godfrey Ho (producer). This one borrows music from Fad Gadget (I think) and Carpenter’s score from Halloween. So weird! Lots of double crossing and revenging going on. Not a holiday movie.
Phillip Ko Fai plays an assassin from… Holland… who comes back to Hong Kong on a job to kill a Japanese Red Army troublemaker and a pair of Hippy American drug dealers. Of course his brother is a cop who doesn’t know he’s a hired killer.
Despite the warning about the sub-par material some of the film was sourced from, 98% of it is great quality.

There must be multiple films where he uses the Halloween score bc I don’t think I’ve seen this one (but it does sound familiar). I thought the Halloween score was used in Lethal Panther?

Oh it is. And probably more of his movies! This is part of that weird box set with the puffy outer sleeve, two movies on Blu-ray and two on DVD, from Germany I got earlier this year.
