Viewing Notes
Thought I had for sure seen this before esp. bc I own this on DVD (and now Blu-ray via Shout) but nope. Then I recalled that I was saving this one bc I heard good things about it and yep this is a very good Shaw Production. Essentially a Ti Lung tour de force, the perfect vehicle for him to showcase his acting and action talents. So fucking good. He should be getting royalties on these releases.
