Perhaps even God can't save the Queen in Golden Harvest's A Queen's Ransom (also known as International Assassin), an explosive action-thriller starring George Lazenby (The Man from Hong Kong), Angela Mao (Lady Whirlwind) and the legendary Jimmy Wang Yu (The One-Armed Swordsman). As Queen Elizabeth II arrives in Hong Kong for a state visit, a band of skilled mercenaries plan her assassination. Contracted by an Irish Republican (Lazenby), the international group of hired killers includes a Japanese explosives expert (Chang Pei-shan), a Thai boxer (Bolo Yeung), a Filipino sniper (Peter Chan Lung) and a veteran of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (Wang Yu). As the conspirators move to carry out their plot, two police officials (Ko Chun-Hsiung and Charles Heung) work with a young socialite (Tanny Tien Ni) in a race against time to save the Monarch's head - while also trying to manage a crisis that has brought a huge number of refugees to Hong Kong, including a young Cambodian princess (Mao). Written and directed by Ting Shan-hsi (Rebel Boxer), A Queen's Ransom was Golden Harvest's attempt to capitalize on the popular success of the political thriller in the wake of The Day of the Jackal.

Strap in for a spectacular example from the golden age of "Ozploitation" moviemaking: writer/director/genre master Brian Trenchard-Smith's full-bore action caper The Man from Hong Kong (1975, first seen in the U.S. as The Dragon Flies). It blazingly showcases the savvy grit and sleek fighting moves of two icons - Hong Kong martial-arts superstar Jimmy Wang Yu and one-time James Bond portrayer George Lazenby - playing lawman/gangster antagonists in a battle-royal array of aerial, vehicular, and close-combat stunts exploding across a gleaming Sydney cityscape and executed with a mix of cool precision and edge-stretching luck that will leave you breathless.

Someone's flooding Australia with drugs and Sydney's toughest cop, Stoner - George Lazenby (James Bond) - has travelled to Hong Kong to find out who. Someone's flooding Australia with designer drugs and Sydney's toughest cop, Joshua Stoner - George Lazenby (On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Queen's Ransom) - has travelled to Hong Kong to find out who. He's not the only one on the hunt - Taiwanese super-cop Li (Angela Mao, the first lady of kung-fu) is also on the case; between them, the mob is in big trouble. Ex-Bond Lazenby was a friend to Bruce Lee - they'd discussed a collaboration on the night Bruce died - and here we finally get to see his moves. Directed by Huang Feng (The Tournament) and co-starring the infamous Betty Ting Pei (Bruce Lee's secret lover!) and a young Sammo Hung, (who also arranged the outrageous action), Stoner is one of the first great international martial arts movies.
