Asia-pol (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

Starting in the 1960s, the Shaw Brothers began collaborating with Japan's major studios in order to boost the development of the studio and Asian cinema in general. This period saw fairly regular joint productions and the importing of overseas talent like director Inoue Umetsugu and cinematographers Nishimoto Tadashi and Miyaki Yukio. Riding on the James Bond wave, the 1960s also saw the Shaw Brothers taking on Bond-style spy actioners, with quite a few of them employing Japanese directors. Just in 1967, the studio released Umetsugu Inoue's Operation Lipstick, Nakahira Ko's Inter-pol, and Matsuo Akinori's amusingly titled Asia-pol.

A joint production with Nikkatsu, Asia-pol was shot in Japan and Hong Kong, with top wuxia star Wang Yu in the leading role as the smooth special agent. The one-armed swordsman carves a unique hero in this entertaining spy actioner, mixing Bond glamour with Shaw Brothers moves. The film co-stars popular Japanese actress Asaoka Ruriko and action star Nitani Hideaki, as well as Shaw Brothers stars Fong Ying and Wong Hap and Nikkatsu talent Shishido Jo.

本片乃邵氏與日本日活公司合作拍攝的占士邦式動作片。走私黃金的犯罪組織首領喬治伊頓(賓戶錠 飾)潛逃香港，亞洲秘密警察日本支部探員楊明軒(王羽 飾)遠赴香港緝凶，期間結識香港密探賴雨田(王俠 飾)，更週旋於美女杏子(淺丘琉璃子 飾)、春子(濱川智子 飾)及楊明華(方盈 飾)之間……

Jimmy Wang Yu stars in his first major modern-day role, in the same year he revolutionized martial arts cinema in One-Armed Swordsman. Here he has both his arms, and he's going to need them to survive the homicidal desires of Japanese gold smugglers. To spice things up even further, there's femme fatales, damsels-in-distress, and even killer strippers. From the first bomb to the final corpse (crushed by gold bars), this is a camp classic of amazing proportions.
