So anyway, as mentioned in my initial post, my grandparents brought a lot of films over when they came back from hong kong.

However, my self and my brother are completely stumped trying to track down one particular film


All that we can remember, between us, is its a film where by there is a fight over a digital watch, because one of the protagonists wants it. Its possibly early/mid 1970's


Just looking for name and any info. Any one have any ideas?


Cheers Invisible

It can't be much earlier I would say :D , but sorry I have no idea, so it isn't any of those I've seen.

welcome

Was the film a comedy or an action movie?

Hello, maybe a bit more desdcription, like who is fighting, kind of fight, is it set in Hk, how many fighters, etc. will be great.

Because what you said seems very little for my brains to remember anything! :lol:

Thanks for the responses so far.

Its set in hong kong/china.

its definitely an action film

Its possibly about a guy in poverty who has been taught how to fight and wants to get out/become a gang member/has been beaten up by gang or looking for revenge.


The watch fight is between bad guy who has the watch and poor /revenge guy who wants it

the fight is one on one with a crowd in a street

I know its vague but iam really struggling to remember much other than the watch fight


The digital watch that is being fought over is a very old style of digital watch, in the films setting it has an almost completley silver face, but a small red L.E.D display near the top of the watch iirc

Thanks once again

With the watch I guess it can only be the 1980s, I am thinking maybe it's a film with Sammo Hung and Co.

Any ideas anyone ?

Isn't there a scene with a watch in Carry on Pickpocket (1982) ??? :conf:

I've seen a movie about a young fellow who wants to join a triad, in which the wristwatch of the Big Brother is one of the things that play a part, but I can't remeber the title :wall:

A wild gues: Man Wanted 3? But if the year of production is the same as the year in the movie it hardly can be a watch with a LED display..... :caesar:

Dude That sounds like it could be it?
That Man Wanted 3 looks way too new though?

Yes, indeed, but I can't remember any older "boy wants to join triad"-movies.....
except CHINATOWN KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
