The Man from Hong Kong (1975)

A truly mad romp, a film posing as an A-lister with a cast including former James Bond George Lazenby, this is an Ozploitation thriller that could almost be straight from the Grindhouse scene. Jimmy Wang Yu's Hong Kong special branch agent is brought in by the Sydney police department to interrogate a drug mule, hoping the information garnered will lead to the man behind the trafficking itself, who may or may not be George Lazenby. It's hard not to think of the previous years Roger Moore fronted Bond film, The Man With The Golden Gun, and although on a technical level the Bond film is of course superior, it's hard to argue that this isn't more fun. It's ridiculous almost beyond belief, but the choreography in the fight scenes is impressive, it's insanely violent, and there are also clear influences on some of Tarantino's work, especially the crazy 88 fight in Kill Bill: Volume 1(2003). It's a terrific B-movie that has enough in it to justify its posing as an a-lister, and it will have a smile on your face for all the right and wrong reasons. 7.3/10
