1972 saw Bruce Lee take the world by storm with ENTER THE DRAGON, but on the other side of the Golden Harvest lot, another movie was being filmed... that movie.. was Hapkido!
Three graduated Hapkido students return to China from Japanese-occupied Korea in order to set up their own school. However, problems start to arise when a local Japanese martial arts school tries to run the new school out of town. It's a surprise remake of another Golden Harvest classic, can you guess which? Stephen can! We talk about Angelo Mao, an early Sammo Hung performance, a surprise Jackie Chan cameo, and the ways in which this differs from Bruce Lee's approach to kung fu filmmaking.
