The Prodigal Son
I thought it was rare; One of my top 5 kong fo flicks, really only for those who are fans of the (real) genre. It's on fucking youtube.
Anyways, if you like classic king-fi this is a belter. It's basically 3 films in one and the whole presentation changes about half way through; like a sort of litmus test...
It also contains unadulterated classic kung fu, with and without wires and with and without 'humour'
It's on fucking youtube.
*sighs*
Edit: 1hr:15 for those who want 5 minutes of fun
or 1hr:35 for the final fight

awesome
the best Wing Chun kung fu film.
+1 for original sound track.
the campy cockney dub is terrible in comparison.

Sooooo good. I used to write for kfccinema.com , and did a brief stint for a printed mag.
This one was remastered (to DVD) by HK Legends.
It seems like 5 minutes since I was wowed by the remastered DVDs of the many Kung fu fulms, but now I yearn for them in HD.
By the way, if anyone's interested, I have rare copies of the books "Chang Cheh: A memoir", and "The Shaw Screen" for sale. Private message me and make me an offer if you're interested. (sorry for sales pitch, but i'm trying to buy a house)
