Sky High Action: The Man From Hong Kong

Join us this week on A Dingo Ate My Movie as we dive into the iconic Australian cult classic, "The Man From Hong Kong," with our special guest, Brandon Hardy, from the Varicon Video podcast.
Directed by the legendary Brian Trenchard-Smith in 1975, this film stands as a cornerstone of the Ozploitation genre, celebrated for its unique flair and cinematic achievements.

Our discussion is enriched with fascinating production insights drawn from Trenchard-Smith's enlightening book, "Adventures in the B Movie Trade." This compelling read offers an in-depth look into his illustrious film career, making it a must-have for anyone passionate about the art of filmmaking.

For those eager to experience "The Man From Hong Kong" firsthand, the movie is readily available on various streaming platforms, including Prime. However, we highly recommend the deluxe Blu-ray edition from Umbrella Entertainment. This version not only features the film and insightful commentary by Trenchard-Smith himself but also boasts an array of special extras. Among these are several of his other notable works and documentaries such as "Stunt Rock," "Deathcheaters," and "Dangerfreaks," providing a comprehensive glimpse into his dynamic filmography.
