    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.
