六刺客 (1971)
Six Assassins


Ling Yun (2)
James Nam Seok-Hoon

Hong Kong DVD release (Celestial Pictures); sleeve scan
(sadly, Celestial began, with its second year of Shaw Brothers releases when they switched to anamorphic, for whatever reason, with their "frame cuts" habit: cutting out single frames before and after each change of camera setting all over the movie. – For the real afficionados these releases became hard to watch, as the continuity from shot to shot thus got destroyed. Especially with shot changes during a fight scene, every single frame cut out or left in a print is important and should not be taken away deliberately afterwards, as, for sure, professional editors back then at Shaw Brothers exactly knew what they did.)
