Lover of Asian cinema, exploitation and silent films.
Charmante, arg brave Nachkriegs-Komödie mit allerlei Verwechslungen, Schabernack und einem nie in Frage gestellten Happy End.
Die 2026 erschienene deutsche Blu-ray liefert nettes, wenn auch teilweise arg gelbstichiges Bild, und in einigen Szenen sehr extremen Kontrast. Leider gibt es keinerlei Extras oder Untertitel.
Essentially a Japanese Eurospy film for lack of a better term.
Nikkatsu and Shaw Brothers produced two films with different lead actors at the same time. I watched the German version which is based on the Nikkatsu cut of the film.
All the tropes are here, there's lots of explosions, chases and spy fun plus many beautiful time capsule shots of (mostly) 1960s Hong Kong. It's a shame the pacing is so slow.
