Viewing Notes

One of the two cut-and-paste movies in the German TVP four pack of Godfrey Ho films I got a while back. I’m going to have to watch it again just to figure out what the fuck was going on.

This is edited from the original 1979 Philippino film Manila 1970: Danger day and night (Maynila 1970: Panganib araw at gabi) with additional scenes shot and edited in by Ho in his typical manic, maybe it makes sense maybe it doesn’t, style.

The title on the disc I have is WAR CITY 5: LAW OF HONOR. I had to add this to TMDb as it wasn’t in there, though surprisingly there is a somewhat incomplete listing for it on IMDb. I’ll update the entry on TMDb when I get some more time. It needs a poster and a plot summary.
