Enter the Dragons | Offscreen
After the international success of the kung fu productions coming out of Hong Kong in the early seventies, Western film studios were eager to jump on the bandwagon. The first of these crossover films was "Enter the Dragon" with Bruce Lee, but others followed suit.
In the wildly entertaining action film "The Man from Hong Kong", superstar Jimmy Wang Yu ("The one-armed Swordsman") travels to Sidney in his tightest pair of jeans, looking for women and a gang of drug smugglers lead by Lazenby, George Lazenby.
Meanwhile, the spaghetti western was quickly losing popularity as a genre, but the search for a new success formula gave us interesting experiments like "The Stranger and the Gunfighter", in which Lo Lieh ("Five Fingers of Death") karate chops his way through the Wild West, next to Lee Van Cleef.
The Stranger and the Gunfighter
Gunslinger Dakota (Lee Van Cleef) and kung fu expert Chiang (Lo Lieh) are looking for a gold treasure. They need to find five pieces of a treasure map, tattooed on the derriere of five young ladies.
The Man from Hong Kong
The Australian police arrests a Chinese drug dealer at Ayers Rock. When he refuses to talk, they call tough as nails police inspector Ling from Hong Kong to assist them in the case.
