    Nice posts, guys!

    A Joyful Proces,
    Witchfinder General and mob violence are especially great finds. I heard
    Wg in countless Shaw films, and always wondered where the end fight music in 8 Diagram Pole Fighter came from.

    Mickey,
    Good one, too. Don't worry; nobody is out of their league here. It's all about enjoying and sharing!

    This was driving me crazy all morning

    I caught the end of Five Fingers of Death (1972) on El Rey's Mutton for Punishment Chinese New Year Kung Fu Marathon this morning over breakfast. I heard that klaxon sound when Lo Lieh's hands turn red and was like "I know that!" but couldn't put my finger on it (pun intended). I knew it was the opening of an old TV show. It hit me on the commute and I rushed to this thread, only to find mickey was way ahead of me on this.

    Gene,

    An interesting coincidence that in my last post I referenced entry #9, and you found mickey's post, entry #10.
