Bob Taylor: Welcome to Australia, Mr. Chan. I'm Taylor, Federal Narcotics Bureau. And you're wanted in Hong Kong for robbery, drug peddling, and murder. Oh yeah, we've been expecting you. So do yourself a favor and answer a few questions. Who sent you? Who do you work for? You're no use to them, now.
Win Chan: [in Cantonese] Stick your head up your ass... and close it after you.
Bob Taylor: Yeah, and I love you, too. Now, what are their names?

Very enjoyable film for those that love action and martial arts. Others might find the extended fight and chase sequences too long.
Jimmy Wang Yu is a decent fighter but lacks the charisma, acting ability and screen presence of Bruce Lee (who, let's face it, very few could match).
George Lazenby as a debonair but menacing villain and Hugh Keays-Byrne and Roger Ward provide excellent support. All are great to watch.
Grant Page's extended fight sequence was a highlight for me as was a car chase later in the film.
Fantastic Australian locations (fewer glimpses of Hong Kong).
