I think you're both right about the influence on the TV show. Ian, thanks for the confirmation on the widescreen release. I knew there was one available somewhere, just couldn't remember where for the life of me. BTW it's good to see you back posting again. Nice to see I’m not the only one who enjoyed this.

There's a widescreen Hong Kong release (which I've got) and an Italian one as well (although I think that may now be oop).

It is open-matte; zooms perfectly to 1.85:1. Quite agree Colin - I liked ‘Red Sun’ a lot more than I’d anticipated myself; it must have at least proved the spark for ‘Kung Fu’.
