Viewing Notes

This is one helluva movie. Wild to see Yuen Biao starring in a movie where he doesn’t do any martial arts. Also wild to see him in something this brutal and mean. Glad to see a really nice transfer since I had only seen the crummy version on YT (and forgotten a lot of it due to my failing memory). Pat Ha is the MVP here as the cold stoic assassin / hitwoman with precision gunplay. I need to add this one to my wishlist.
