The movie
Show notes
Continuing Mike White March, we come to The Man from Hong Kong, a unique kung-fu film that lacks a charismatic lead but has all the trappings of a truly standout Ozploitation film. Directed by Ozploitation legend Brian Trenchard-Smith, the film stars Jimmy Wang Yu as the previously mentioned stale lead who is surrounded by some of Australia's finest exploitation actors including one-time James Bond George Lazenby who chews through the scenery every chance he gets. It's a more enjoyable experience than Stone with different problems that hamper it. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Wang Yu's robotic performance, Lazenby's fantastic turn as a villain, and the film's fantastic climax.
