'The Man from Hong Kong': An Ozploitation Classic
It's always entertaining to see a film (trailer above) that features George Lazenby, Valiant Chargers, a hang-gliding kung-fu cop and Frank Thring! 1975's 'The Man From Hong Kong' is Australia's first kung-fu action movie, directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. (Of whom, Quentin Tarantino is a fan).
More on this Ozploitation classic at Australian Screen, and more on Ozploitation at The Duece (aka The Grindhouse Database).
What were you expecting, acupuncture? Gold.

Wow, just realised I've worked with the man. Brian Trenchard Smith directed Day of The Panther which I did some lighting assisting on. A worst of Perth Classic.
