The Man From Hong Kong (1975)

Classic mid 70s Ozploitation. Taking advantage of Wang Yu's popularity of the time, a fairly general crime/Kung Fu movie made great by digs at Asian's ('What did you expect it to be like, acupuncture?') and an amazing look back at 70's Australia. The hair kicks arse as well. Music fairly amazing as well. Who doesn't want to see a foot race up Uluru? Or subtle segues between pigeons and hang-gliding darlings, or finding out what makes the Special Branch so special? Lazenby deserves a mention as well as always. Quite interesting watching some scenes when you learn about Wang Yu's supremely misogynistic views.

Also known as 'The Dragon Flies'

Easy 10/10 for fun factor (Watch with a few mates)

(You can watch the entire movie on youtube as well!)
