THE DRAGON TAMERS - UNCUT (1975)

Legendary director John Woo directs only his second film in this 1975 Golden Harvest classic. Carter Wong plays a young chinese martial arts student who travels to Korea to learn Taekwondo. Soon he comes up against a vicious gang who want all the local martial arts schools to join their evil association. But before he can defeat the bad guys, he has to learn to master his own strong desire to fight. James Tien and many other stars of the GH studio star in this fight-filled classic. Expect Taekwondo girls facing off against Karate girls, tons of cool 70's clothes and fashions, and to the best of our knowledge, this is fully uncut. In the old fullscreen English dub version, a nude bath scene featuring some of the female cast was cut, here it's presented in all its glory.
