    Watched Angel with The Iron Fists (1967) earlier tonight.

    This is a rather silly Hong Kong James Bond knock-off, where we, instead of a male hero, follow a female spy, Agent 009, infiltrating a dangerous organised crime syndicate.

    The film is alright, but nothing special. It's silly but quite entertaining, and features some nice locations. What sticks out the most though, is that they have taken several cues from John Barry's Bond scores and used them throughout the movie!

    ROAD TO PERDITION (2002)
    Sam Mendes gangster thriller has Tom Hanks star as Michael Sullivan, a mob enforcer , who works for the powerful John Rooney (Paul Newman). When Sullivans young kid witness Rooneys son (Daniel Craig, in a character far away from 007!) commit a murder and subsequent killing of Sullivans wife, they go on the run, pursued by a vicious hit man played by Jude Law. Have only seen this once and it's a solid thriller, well told,strong cast, but Newman coming across best in an Oscar nominated role, and winning best cinematography for the legendary Conrad Hall!
    Interesting that on this viewing I noted it has a similar "Cuckoo" type drama thread like 'Spectre' ( if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean!!)

    I saw a Hong Kong martial arts film some years ago, an erstwhile historical epic made in the early 1970s. I can't for the life of me recall the title, though such films often had many variant ones depending on the region and time in which they were released. But what I do clearly recall was the incredibly odd & very liberal use of soundtrack music from OHMSS!

    Not the first and only time this has happened, then! I wonder how they got the rights to use the music, or if they did at all…
