THE MAN FROM HONG KONG

Brian Trenchard-Smith

HK

A Chinese cop arrives in Australia to arrest a drug dealer, but the dealer is quickly shot dead and the officer is confronted by an entirely different class of villains.

This action-packed film, an Australian ersatz for Hong Kong action cinema, is one of the first productions of a leading exponent of Australian exploitation cinema. Generous and offbeat, it also provides an opportunity to see George Lazenby, Australia’s one and only James Bond, in the role of the bad guy.
