The Man from Hong Kong (1975)
Reviewed by: JUlibas on 2003-10-14
Summary: Brutal, bone crunching movie from Wang Yu.
"Jimmy" Wang Yu stars and co-directs this international film. MFHK was supposed to be the film that launched Yu Wang's career as the "next Bruce Lee" despite the fact that he made several movies before Bruce Lee.

The film has several brutal fight scenes (directed by Samo Hung) the one that stands out the most is the one in the dojo between Yu and Wilson's kung-fu students. They use a variety of weapons to try and kill Yu. But, since Yu's the man he takes them all on leaving them lying in pools of their blood moaning in pain.

The fight between Lazenby and Wang is one of the highlights (Samo does a good job at making George look like he knows how to fight). Yu's the man in this film and he doesn't take guff from nobody.

I enjoyed this film very much. I saw the H.K. version, I've never seen the international cut of this movie.

Widescreen.
