Viewing Notes
A Shaw Brothers spaghetti western and most likely the first movie I ever saw featuring Lo Lieh. Used to watch this on cable (HBO perhaps?) when I would visit and babysit the Findleys. Same way I watched DEATHRACE 2000 multiple times as a kid.
I have the DVD of this under the BLOOD MONEY title and it may be the absolute worst DVD that Shout Factory has released. Terrible quality. They really oughta do a restoration + remaster then put it into one of their SB sets with a good commentary track bc I’d love to know more about how this production came to be and it was like during the filming.
