Coming Soon: The Savage Five


This intro is for an Errol Flynn movie, but you get the drift....

As a fifth grader, I took my kung fu where I could get it. In the early 80's, theme weeks were a good choice. Southeastern Wisconsin picked up Chicago very well. WGN TV out of Chicago gave you a lot of movie "theme weeks", which very often tossed cheaply priced, oriental Shaw Brothers-produced 1970's martial arts opuses at you. David Chiang and Ti Lung, (yes, THAT Ti Lung, John Woo's muse, partnered with Chow-Yun-Fat a few times) raise this above "The Flying Guillotine" and "The Seven Deadly Venoms" with ease. It was good stuff....
