Identifying Old-School Kung Fu Movie Pictures

[Shaolin Dragon]

@ShawAngela

The only Chinese language page I have found that mention this film is this page https://m.xuite.net/blog/kgbz/twblog/120297596

So the movie was probably made 1973 or later.

The Chinese title 危險人物 (wei xian ren wu) is written in traditional characters. The meaning is exactly the same as the English title.

In HKMDB there are three other movies listed with this title, but none of them is this movie.

The director is probably the same as this person http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=15052&display_set=big5

The three main actors are probably

Sorry, I mistook the character Ma with the character Yi.

Well, with Yi Yuan in it, it must be a good movie !

Anyone know what this is?

Chinese title 危險人物

When I search using the english title in HKMDB I don't get any results.

The movie is directed by someone named 林白. The three main actors - 岳陽 易虹 易原.

The pictures on the poster looks so familar to me. Looked thru my collection of old block and punch - basher movies but i can't find it. Same with the actors you posted i searched HKMDB and HonKongCinemagic but no result. Maybe this is a lost or very rare movie or there is another titel for it. Where did you find this scan of the poster. It is difficult to read the company in the right corner on top. It looks like the old sign of IFD. They have still listed all the kung fu movies they brought out on there site maybe i can find it there.

After some more digging I also think this movie might be lost or very rare. You are right about the IFD sign but I can’t find any trace of this movie on their site.

In the HKFA archive I found that they have some promotional material for this film listed, but unfortunately they don’t seem to have any print of movie https://mcms.lcsd.gov.hk/FAMS_ipac/cclib/search/showBib.jsp?oai=Y&f=e&id=65537966220805

The HKFA don’t mention when the movie was released but through my search I think it must have been released in Hong Kong somewhere between late 1973 and 1976. Because this article about Yee Hung from 1973 mentions that one of her next projects will be this movie. https://m.xuite.net/blog/kgbz/twblog/120297596 I also found that the movie was screened in Brazil 1976. Page 33 https://docplayer.com.br/59101187-Wmeemmm-mmmm-mmm-m-mw-v-m-i-mfi-bggee-l-awxs-js.html

So maybe the movie was released on home video in Brazil or at least a film print might have survived in some archive or private collection.

So FRUSTRATING !!!

[Shaolin Dragon]

@ShawAngela Yes I agree! It’s really strange that so little is known about this movie although it evidently was distributed outside Asia. 

[kuenfist]

Maybe one of the big collectors here know something about this movie.

If it talks about the movie Dr Justice, then, it Could be John Philip Law.

These below pages are from a 1984 issue (#172) of Cinemart (which contains a lot of photos of Jackie as a tourist during the making of Wheels on Meals).

Has anyone seen these movies?
