The "Hapkido" English dub is not an original track, nor is it a mono version of the Fortune Star dub. It is the classic English dub but with "hapkido" crudely dubbed in where "kung fu" is spoken. It is a cleaner version of the English dub whereas the unmoleseted "Lady Kung Fu" appears to come from a VHS source.
Includes a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ilan Sheady.
First pressing also includes an illustrated collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the films by critic James Oliver. -
