THE DRAGON MISSILE (FEI LONG
ZHAN)-1975-This Shaw Brothers production features another inventive
weapon: a deadly boomerang. An assassin (Lo Lieh) working for an evil
governor (Ku Feng) obtains some medicine to save his boss's life but
it's stolen by his old friend (Tony Liu). Later using the boomerang
(called “the missile dragon”) the assassin beheads his
ex-friend's mother and gets the medicine back but keeps it a secret
from his entourage because they are under orders to kill him once he
has it. Naturally, his ex-friend wants revenge and he's joined by the
daughter of the doctor (Nancy Yen) who made the medicine. They also
get help from a woman (Terry Liu) in the assassin's entourage who has
retractable blades in her fingers (similar to Wolverine). After some
fights and decapitations, a crazy all out battle takes place where
fishing nets help to battle the boomerangs.
Director Meng Hua Ho also
made THE FLYING GUILLOTINE the year before.
