You're buying an ORIGINAL 1979 "Mission Kiss and Kill" (Aka "Lang dang jiang hu"), martial arts movie poster. This one sheet 27" x  41" action poster advertised a film featuring Lee Yi Min and Blacky Ko. It's in VF condition, folded, with any issues visible in the attached images, that are of the exact poster you're buying. Folded in the past, like a majority of them, so there are minor fold lines. A few of the older, previously folded posters being offered have small (less than postage stamp sized) pieces of clear tape applied to reverse side to reinforce fold joints. While this has no effect on the face of the poster, it helps to prevent any splitting or tearing of the poster paper where folding makes them more susceptible. It's actually an enhancement made by prior owner, but just making note of this. I ship rolled in a tube. Great SCARCE martial arts poster at a bargain price (if you know the value). Decorate your dojo!
Please send payment within 3 days of the close of this listing. I'll carefully package your movie poster, and ship promptly upon payment. Shipping within US is $5.50. If shipped at the same time, two or more posters from my listings can be sent at no additional postage cost to you. (No international shipping.)
About the movie
Set in the early days of the Chinese Republic, this tale of Kung Fu kingpins and masters features beautiful women in gorgeous costumes, exotic backgrounds and a tricky plot filled with martial arts magic.
MISSION KISS AND KILL (1979) is a fast-paced made-in-Taiwan kung fu adventure with two strong stars in peak form and lots of action. Lee Yi Min stars as Constable Lu in a role that's something of a departure for a star more often known for playing eager young kung fu students with a touch of goofiness about them (NINJA CHECKMATE, 7 GRANDMASTERS, SEVEN COMMANDMENTS OF KUNG FU). He still smiles here, but he's much more mature than usual as he plays an honest cop embarking on a mission to deliver eight valuable jade miniature horses. Blacky Ko (billed as Yuan Lung, who is also credited as fight choreographer) co-stars as Lu's fighting partner, giving us a rare chance to see this celebrated character actor of Hong Kong cinema (seen often in comic roles) in a starring kung fu role. He's quite good at the action and makes us wish he'd done more films like this. He also has good chemistry with Lee and they share a number of intricately planned acrobatic maneuvers (e.g. "catch the snake") in their various fights with the bad guys, including one who does "crab fist" on them. The two characters trained together as youths and continue to call each other by their nicknames, "Little Deer" for Lee, and "Monkey" for Blacky.
The plot, about getting the jade horses from one place to another, is not as rigorous as the fighting and doesn't make much sense when it's all added up. However, it's simply an excuse for lots and lots of fights with a host of reliable supporting players from kung fu films led by the always dependable Lung Fei, who plays the rich man who hires Lee for the job and finagles him into marrying his beautiful daughter, Ping-ya. (I'm assuming the actress who plays her is the fourth-billed name in the cast, Yang Jo Len, although I can't confirm it.) The fights are imaginatively staged along the route and are set in taverns, inns, roadside clearings and temples and similar historic sites.
The film was directed by Lee Tso Nam. It remains a better-than-average little package for fans of kung fu action, particularly those who want to see these two stars in change-of-pace roles.
