Original Chinese source: a selected filmography, printed in the book "Director's Guild Of Taiwan, R.O.C., Directory" from 1996, clearly indicating FREEDOM STRIKES A BLOW as a directional work of Ao Yang-Chun, just before VALLEY OF THE DOUBLE DRAGON for the same production company, Kai Fa. Besides a definately mistaken year here, this totally makes sense and supports an interview for a Japanese book in which Ao also mentions FREEDOM STRIKES A BLOW right after POLICE FORCE! Furthermore, the pseudonym "Tsai Ta", used in the original credits and on the poster, comes with the same Chinese character for the family name as Ao's birth name "Tsai Yang-Ming". - A little bit of irritation the pseudonym "Huang Ta" just mentioned once in the movie magazine "Cinemart". "Huang Ta" is also the given director of the the James Tien vehicle THE SHAOLIN BOXERS, and there is no hint or proof that Ao also directed that one, too. (Image uploaded by Oliver Sodemann)
