This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Truly what an ensemble cast with so many superb performances! haha, I never noticed Sandra Ng...I'll keep a look out upon next viewing, and she should be even easier to spot in the 4K restoration!

It seems you went on several pilgrimages to pay your respects to this movie - this is dedication!! I was so happy to finally get to see it on the big screen in Hong Kong in 2018 - a true joy to see there. Alongside the trio of actresses I also really enjoyed Wu Ma's comical performance

The time has finally come for one of the greatest films ever to be released on 4K! A truly wild and exhilarating mix of tones, genres and blistering action sequences. Still rmb hunting for this at Kims Video on a trip to New York as it was impossible to find in the UK in the early 2000s.
