English title: Bullet in the Head.
Synopsis: Three friends living in Hong Kong go to Vietnam with contraband, which gets blown up by bombs - the place is in a civil war (it's the early 60's I think). They decide to rob a local mobster of his gold, and also rescue a beautiful lady singer who is being kept as a slave by said mobster. Later they are chased by the vietcongs.
Appraisal: Both action and melodrama are hilariously over the top, and the plot is in the usual dumbed down manner of HK movies. On the other hand, the director knows how to compose vigorous dramatic images and also how to direct action.
