Japanese movie with the Shaws' logo ! Coproduction ?

Does anyone have ever heard of this movie ?

I can't find anything on hkmdv, and imdb only mentions a Japanes company for this movie, so, why would there be the Shaws' logo on the poster ?

I'd assume co production....or maybe the poster was something made  up for the Shaw chain of theaters?

I think Shaw probably bought the rights to distribute it in Hong Kong/Singapore/etc... at least that's my guess

Too lazy to do research right now, but I presume you're right. Looks like one of the Shintoho Super Giant movies. Shouldn't have anything to do with the Shaws other than maybe being the local distributor.

Yes, and according to imdb, it's the number 6 of the series.

I didn't recognize any Shaws' actors' names in the cast, but maybe some of them have a Japanese alias, and that's why there is the Shaws' logo on the poster...
