A QUEEN'S RANSOM (1976) Eureka! Entertainment Blu-ray Review

 


I've long been curious about the films one-and-done James Bond actor George Lazenby did in Hong Kong in the early-mid 1970s, so I was thrilled to get the new Eureka Entertainment Blu-ray of A QUEEN'S RANSOM (1976), his final film made in that country.

More a heist/thriller than a martial arts film, it features Lazenby as an IRA agent assembling a gang of criminals and assassins to take out Queen Elizabeth (and not on a date) during a royal visit to Hong Kong. More in line with BLACK SUNDAY than ENTER THE DRAGON, though it does co-star Angela Mao and Bolo Yeung from that Bruce Lee classic, along with Jimmy Wang Yu and, unbeknownst to her, Queen Elizabeth II!

Gorgeous transfer and some fun extras make it worth a pick-up, even if it's less wall-to-wall action and more plotting than you might expect.

DOGMAN (2023) Theatrical Review

  Luc Besson returns to directing with an odd action-drama, DOGMAN, starring Caleb Landry Jones as a wheelchair-bound drag performer and master of an army of canines ready to growl and prowl on his command. Points for using actual trained dogs and not CGI foolery, proof that things can still be done the old fashioned way and (shockily!) be all the more impressive for it.
