Made my day - thanks Franky. Just to diverge a minute, got to thank you for all the promotion you've done for hung gar; your enthusiasm & chat on these boards and youtube in the past seriously pushed me to want to take my appreciation further than just movie-watching, and helped me understand where facets of these movies were coming from. I'm not over-emphasising that either, you definitely gave me a push/initial spark. I remember a thread on the old boards about some Mark Houghton training vids - I didn't get them at the time, your replies to folk got me curious. Between you, Lau's films & the discovering the right sifu & a push from my gf... now I'm training in hung gar. Got a loooong loooong loooongg way to go yet though. Cheers mate!

Thanks for this, Franky! This is awesome stuff, it's a real history lesson (on Cantonese action cinema, and of course the WFH films).

I wrote a review of this movie several years ago for the old Hong Kong Cinema View from The Brooklyn Bridge. Beside reviewing I also tell of the background of both the movie and the series itself. It's pretty long and the english is clunky at time but very rich in inside infos. There's also some caps.
