As we probably won’t get the still missing bits of the original Big Boss I’d highly appreciate “ren hai gu hong” from 1958 aka The Orphan which is at HKFA in colour and also a copy in ‘collectors’ hands

Tiger Boy is on the top of my HK film wishlist. Said to be quite experimental (and 1 hour short). The HK film archive has a copy! But they always redirect you to contact Celestial, while Celestial redirects you to the HK film archive.

There’s some nudity and sex scenes, but… i mean…. depending on your “sex scene” tolerance, not sure if I’d call it explicit. If “Thai Gangbangs Vol. 1: Almost-Banned Extreme Edition” is a 10, then this is about a -4. Hope that helps.

Different subject: Man, I can’t believe they straight up used the 007 theme in this movie. I get it. Most kung fu movies do this, but here, it’s so…. not right and cheap lol (it’s even worse than the plot twist about the girl’s dad). The Man with the Golden Gun-sploitation.

But decent movie. The sound effects (along with the fights themselves) are pretty satisfying. I can’t believe they were trying so hard to top the original that they forgot what made the latter so good was its simplicity and build up.

Well worth the wait! Would have loved to hear the English dub, but you can’t have everything, right?

Any explicit nude/sex scenes in the movie? I recall mention of such content being made before. Would be nice if you could clarify, having seen the movie. Cheers.
