The Man From Hong Kong (1975)

Exciting, action-packed film from Ozploitation director Brian Trenchard-Smith starts off with a beautifully shot kung-fu fight on top of the famous Australian landmark, Ayres Rock. A Chinese courier (Sammo Hung) has been caught in a drug deal and is taken in by the Australian police (which includes Hugh Keays-Byrne from Mad Max). Special Agent Inspector Feng (Jimmy Wang Yu) is brought over from Hong Kong to find out any information that the courier may have about who is supplying the drugs. Seems the big man is Jack Wilton (George Lazenby), who has an army of martial artists in his employ which makes him a hard man to get. However, after lots of violent and destructive fight scenes and impressive stunts, Feng does get his man.
