  Eureka Entertainment brings Angela Mao's final film for Golden Harvest to Blu-ray, the ass-kicking, face-fisting, scorpion-tossing BROKEN OATH (1977), a Hong Kong remake of Japan's LADY SNOWBLOOD, in which Mao seeks revenge on those who brought her parents to a dark fate. Mao is outstanding in acting and action here, the transfer looks great, and a LOT of scorpions are flung.

  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.
