Viewing Notes
Probably considered pretty violent for its time. Fights choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping. This is a German region B disc I picked up on a whim, under the title Zakato. There’s only German or English dubbed audio unless you go with the pan and scan 4x3 version with burned in Cantonese and English subtitles. I chose to go with the English dub which sounded like it was recorded in a wind tunnel and then processed through a phase pedal.
