Viewing Notes

RIP Ku Feng, who has an all-timer performance in this movie. I don’t know why I said this wasn’t a great movie in my previous notes bc this thing rips from start to finish. Perhaps the transfer looked bad from El Rey or something. I can’t imagine saying any Shaw film with 3 decapitations is not great.
