Viewing Notes

The second film in a rare kung fu double feature put on by the Chicago Cinema Society at the Portage Theater. It was a lot of fun watching this great film projected in 35mm in a historic theater!

I hadn’t seen this movie in a long time and I didn’t remember the heavy, Black Sabbath influenced score. I’d love to get my hands on the soundtrack!
