Brian Trenchard-Smith, Yu Wang, 1975 • Brian Trenchard-Smith’s first feature, THE MAN FROM HONG KONG mixes a James Bond style plot with excessive martial arts action, styled after the films made by The Shaw Bros. Former Bond actor George Lazenby stars as Jack Wilton, a Hong Kong based drug lord whose business operations are soon thwarted by suave special agent, Fang Sing Leng. Nearly non-stop action, chases and stunts abound in this outrageously entertaining, ‘Scope-lensed action masterpiece which comes complete with one of the catchiest songs ever composed for a motion picture. THE MAN FROM HONG KONG was an international hit and was Australia’s first kung-fu film. 35mm

Cost: 5.00
