Golden Studios - Then and Now

As a long-time HK film fan, Golden Studios holds particular interest for me because it was the filming/production location of many classic kung fu and action films during the 70's and 80's. Golden Studios was, of course, the name of the studios owned and operated by Golden Harvest. Sadly the studios are no longer around, but below is an aerial photo of the area in Diamond Hill where the studio was located so that at least we can see where it was in relation to the area now.

Wang Jang Lee's Death Match - Newspaper Report

Many thanks to my good friend (and useful source of movies),  AP, for sending me this newspaper report from 1977 that covers the supposed "death match" that Wang Jang Lee almost took part in. Any self-respecting HK movie fan will have heard of this near-fight but perhaps many, like me, were a bit short on details.

The print date was September 20th 1977 and the English name of the paper was the H.K Pictorial News located at 7-13 New Street, Hong Kong.
