Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 20, 2008 Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2008 I was hoping somebody could identify an image I have seen from a Shaw Brothers film which has made me curious to find out what it is. The image is in the 2006 release schedule inlay found in certain celestial dvd's, unfortunately I don't have them in front of me, but off the top of my head I know the inlay I'm refering to is definitely in The Kung-Fu Instructor. It's on the 3rd page under what I presume is April's releases (it's listed under the number 4), and is of a guy holding what looks like a large machine gun pointing it upwards. The 2006 release schedule inlay was one of the one's which only prints the Chinese titles of the movies, so I have no idea what it's called and can't identify what actor it is! Any help would be appreciated (& if anyone knows if it's any good that would be even better)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yu_Xihong Posted June 20, 2008 Member Share Posted June 20, 2008 My guess is either Godfather From Canton or Mercenaries From Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fightlikeapes Posted June 20, 2008 Member Share Posted June 20, 2008 Mercenaries from Hong Kong I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 20, 2008 Author Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hmmm, I actually own those movies and have watched them both within the last year...pretty sure I don't remember that scene though. It's definitely not the Godfather From Canton, shall have to have a skip through Mercenaries From Hong Kong to see if I recognise it.... Cheers for the help.

Member venoms5 Posted June 20, 2008 Member Share Posted June 20, 2008 It's King Hu's other Shaw movie SONS OF THE GOOD EARTH (1965) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 22, 2008 Author Moderator Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks Venoms5, just checked it out on hkflix and I notice this image is actually on the dvd cover as well! From the image I was expecting it to be a pulpy adventure type story in the same vein as Mercenaries From Hong Kong, but I take with it being done by King Hu that it's a much more serious film in it's tone?

Member venoms5 Posted June 22, 2008 Member Share Posted June 22, 2008 I haven't watched it yet but I hear it's kind of light hearted at first but gets bloody towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
