Viewing Notes

Surprised we got treated with this movie given it’s not an AGFA release but very happy nevertheless. Haven’t seen this since I saw it on 35mm at Portage Theater with Ron ten years ago! Wonder if this scan is the same print we watched.

Anyways, this is one of the greatest classic kung fu movies of all time, top ten maybe, and it’s a travesty it’s not available on a good upgrade Blu-ray.

RIP Jimmy Yang Wu
