MEH, Wang Yu? Not one of his greats. I find it funny considering what a scum and gangster he was and is, that his movies are all about fighting scum and gangsters, as well as upholding Chinese honor- when in fact, Triads helped the Japanese in WW2-

When the Japanese invaded most major Chinese cities in World War Two, the Triads offered to work for them instead. In Hong Kong, the Triads ran criminal enterprises for the Japanese, The Japanese united the gangs under an association called the "Hing Ah Kee Kwan" (Asia Flourishing Organization). The gangsters were used to help police the residents of Hong Kong,and to suppress any anti-Japanese activity. The gangs were paid through a Japanese front company, called Lee Yuen Company.

Kind of tough to watch heroic bloodshed movies once you know the facts.

The Man from Hong Kong would probably be My favorite of Jimmy's. Tattooed Dragon and A Man Called Tiger are about on par with each other for good ole Wang Yu pop'um in the nose entertainment! :nerd:
