Pics taken from 3 minute clip at Australian Screen website http://australianscreen.com.au/titles/man-from-hong-kong/clip3/ Chase is rated as one of the best ever filmed in Australia. Would love to get a DVD of this and complete the film captures.

Sadly, it can't be seen outside Australia. But the pics look promising.

I still have thousand's of films and tv series episodes to add to the site ..when I have time.! :)
Most of the horror/sci-fi films 'Atom' has added recently, I've had in my collection for many years (also all the 'Mad Mission' films), I'm still buying movies & tv series every week (also recording from tv, so my collection and things to do for the Imcdb is never ending...)

A quick search on ebay shows it's available outside Australia, and available to buyers in the UK, America.

I wonder why it's not available in the country it was made

Now have it on DVD. Watched it last night. Plenty of cars to add. Short chase between Toyota Crown and a helicopter, and the big chase scene involving the Commer, Charger, Falcon, Torana, and Kawasaki bike, with the Cortina and Holden EJ forced off the road along the way, and a Holden EH ute ending up in the Hawkesbury River.

Yes nice pictures.
But unfortinately in wrong aspect ratio.
Maybe it's better to correct this, learn from it, before uploading more?
I took me quite a while to understand how it worked, but if you know it once, it's very easy ;)

Is the ratio really wrong for this one? how is it? flat? i'm asking because as usualy i never realize when the ratio is wrong (unless it is too noticeable :D )

The IMDB lists the aspect ratio as 2.35 : 1.

I have looked at the pics again and they look OK to me. I think some of the scenes may have beeen shot with a fish eye lens, which distorts the image, such as this one /vehicle_184967-Ford-Falcon-XB-1973.html and this one /vehicle_211016-Ford-Falcon-XB-1973.html

Then it's 2.35:1 letterboxed inside a 16/9 frame. 4/3 (normal television) and 16/9 (widescreen) are the only aspect ratios possible on a DVD.

Must be some optical effect, as most of the pictures seem right to me.
