When Dragons Collide (1973)
(Tu dou ke, Jimmy Shaw, Hong Kong 1973, 81 min., 35mm, Dubbed in English)
This over-the-top martial arts film has been a hidden treasure in the museum’s vault for years. Betrayed by his partners, a man returns to his hometown seeking vengeance and re-connection with his long lost love. Killing his way up the organized crime ladder, the protagonist will have to avoid falling oil drums, escape from a coffin, survive a school full of martial arts students, and dodge flying fists and bullets. A prime example of the lower budget of the genre, the film features violence, nudity, and more laugh-out-loud moments than you might expect. Shot in Honk Kong in 1973, this early 1980s United States release reveals the slapdash efforts at importing film at the time.
