Viewing Notes

A total “I must avenge my master” joint from a young Wu Yu-Sheng, as stated in the credits. Have to believe that this must’ve gotten a release already somewhere (German media book perhaps?) because this transfer looks good and includes deleted scenes in Cantonese (this is an English dubbed version).

So this is likely a rip from a BD. Not a great example of the premise but good enough to be watchable. Plus Carter Wong. And the opening scene of topless women mud wrestling (!!).

I would get a BD release in hopes there would be some extras providing context, filmed in South Korea with a Korean cast yet a Golden Harvest production. Also plenty of badass women kicking butt.
