Guest Steve Barr Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 The Young Rebel -- I was reasonably impressed by this ~1973 film directed by Ti Lung. Sure, it's a bit dated, but it does a good job of playing with expectations. It also ramps up the action as the film goes along so what starts as a social drama ends as a Wing Chun, etc. fight fest.

Guest Chinatown Kid Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I liked it as well, nice mix of drama and action with Chiang doing a good job in the lead. The villains were a little corny and cliche' but you have to take into consideration this was an early 70's HK film and looks as you said a bit dated.

Member venoms5 Posted January 3, 2008 Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've had this one for some time but haven't watched it yet. Sammo is also in THE FUGITIVE (1972), the OTT Shaw Brothers Spaghetti Western starring Lo Lieh and Ku Feng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sammo was in loads of the early 70s Shaw films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted January 4, 2008 Member Share Posted January 4, 2008 What are some of the titles Mark? I only remember seeing him in THE FUGITIVE. He gets a dialog scene in that one. If I've seen him elsewhere I don't remember. In Logan's book HK Action Cinema he comments about Hung's BLADES OF FURY movie having a Shaw Brothers look about it despite him not having worked at the studio!

Highly recommended:bigsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
