Aka "The Dragon Flies." Director Brian Trenchard-Smith ("Stunt Rock") takes my favorite Asian action hero Jimmy Wang Yu and showcases him under this Aussie production with a special appearance by Sammo Hung to boot. Oh yeah, George Lazenby ("On Her Majesty's Secret Service") plays a drug trafficking, gun toting evil son of a bitch with an arsenal of firepower that could take down any motherfucker in his way.
Also, it must be noted that the stunts in this movie are hardcore. The car crashes and real looking fight sequences are all wild. One shot in particular, a car blows up and the door comes flying at the cameraman making for a sick shot but was obviously an accident. An accident that could have been deadly.
Yeah, that's a nice pic with Jimmy Wang Yu rockin' the full Adidas tracksuit!Labels: 70s, action, ass kickin, drugs, guns, jimmy wang yu, kung-fu
Of course Wang Yu and George Lazenby together at last meant I had to see it eventually, but it really ought to get out into the world. It's a terrific little action spectacular.
there are spectacular stunts (people REALLY on fire, car crashes, EXPLOSIONS!). Some of the hanglider footage & other random stunts are featured in Trenchard-Smith's docu-film "Stunt Rock". Jigsaw & Sorcery would be great in concert. Reunion tour...?
Tommy or LightningBug, if you all need invites to there, I'd be happy to oblige. You'd dig it the most.
