Strap in for a spectacular example from the golden age of “Ozploitation” moviemaking: writer/director/genre master Brian Trenchard-Smith’s full-bore action caper The Man from Hong Kong (1975, first seen in the U.S. as The Dragon Flies).
The film blazingly showcases the savvy grit and sleek fighting moves of two icons – Hong Kong martial-arts superstar Jimmy Wang Yu (One-Armed Swordsman) and one-time James Bond portrayer George Lazenby (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service) – playing lawman/gangster antagonists in a battle-royal array of aerial, vehicular, and close-combat stunts exploding across a gleaming Sydney cityscape and executed with a mix of cool precision and edge-stretching luck that will leave you breathless.

I have the region free Aussie blu ray of this. I love this movie. Jimmy Wang Yu’s terrible fighting skills hold it back but his personality makes up for it and the set pieces are so much fun, especially the car chases!
Agree. After “Enter the Dragon”, it’s no doubt the best English-language “International” Golden Harvest film. Too bad Brian Trenchard-Smith didn’t make more films with the company.
