Super Gang

I saw that Kwan Young Moon is in the cast. Does he do anything worth watching and is the movie any good?

bruce le is also in this film and there isnt much in it to recommend.

I actually quite enjoyed it. I've got the longer UK DVD for trade if anyone's interested

[morgoth]

Killer Meteor- do you remember Kwan Yougn Moon fighting in this movie?

[morgoth]

Nobody knows if Kwan Young Moon gets to fight?

[dragon herb]

It was a long time since I watched it but he does fight in it.

[morgoth]

Just picked up a copy of The Super Gang (InstanVision DVD) out of my local pound store (well, one of them, for there are many). Run time is 85:20 (PAL), which means it's be duped from the 1987 VHS (cut 0:32 by the BBFC, I believe for breast fondling during a rape). But it seems that there must have been pre-cuts made either by the UK distributor (VPD) or the international distributor (Filmark). If the "uncut" version (ie. without BBFC cuts) runs 85:51 (89:31 at 24fps) then that's still 3:17 shy of the subtitled UK cinema version (which ran at 92:48). Is there a truly uncut version available with subs?

I bought it a while ago as one of the Saturn DVDs. I recall he does fight, but this movie is all about his hair. ;)

Below is a clip from youtube. That first line said to Bruce Le sounds a little funny, like it was a reference to him getting a sex change.

"Hey buddy, you're much better since you've been a broad."

Jamal's 89:25 NTSC subtitled version matches the uncut version of the English dub at 24fps (89:31).
This strongly suggests that the dub and the sub prints are basically the same.
So where does this 92:48 subbed print come from? Have the BBFC made a mistake?

EDIT: Just noticed that the BBFC's record lists the date of approval as 17/05/83.
18 months before the HK release. Very unusual for a HK film. I wonder why the delay?

[Markgway]

Did Wong Jing really direct this under a psuedonym?

Where did that info come from?
