The Man From Hong Kong

Strap in for a spectacular example from the golden age of "Ozploitation" moviemaking: writer/director/genre master Brian Trenchard-Smith's full-bore action caper The Man from Hong Kong (1975, first seen in the U.S. as The Dragon Flies). It blazingly showcases the savvy grit and sleek fighting moves of two icons - Hong Kong martial-arts superstar Jimmy Wang Yu and one-time James Bond portrayer George Lazenby - playing lawman/gangster antagonists in a battle-royal array of aerial, vehicular, and close-combat stunts exploding across a gleaming Sydney cityscape and executed with a mix of cool precision and edge-stretching luck that will leave you breathless.
