Retro pick: Singaporean martial arts film Ring of Fury

Konrad M. Lawson (@konrad):

The rare and ill-fated Singapore martial arts film "Ring of Fury" about a hawker versus gangsters (1973) ironically got a feature article in the HDB funded magazine Our Home (1973 March-April, p27-33). Access the full issue here: https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/printheritage/detail/60a4546a-47b8-4f10-b671-07dbcadb6cc9.aspx?s=Our%20AND%20Home A clip (classic training montage) from the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQbXy0S337U&ab_channel=theprojector.sg #singapore #tootSEA

TootSEA (regional)
MYToots (Malaysia)
MakanApaToday (food posts)

Please let me know of others!

Rules

**We follow this instance's Code of Conduct and would like to emphasize the following:**

this magazine aims to be inclusive while understanding Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance;
Hate speech or ironic posturing using hate speech is not tolerated;
Hate speech is that which prejudiced the speaker and the audience against a particular class of people. This magazine considers the following classes to be of note: gender, sexuality, ethnicity, geography, economy;
Critical discussions on ideologies will be allowed but strongly monitored. Your life experiences regarding any ideology, be it political or religious, cannot be the basis for hateful conduct towards others of that group, and vice versa;
sarcasm is probably a given; being funny is a plus; being a dork is better. Better to be cringe than an asshole;
cross-posting is allowed when it's something you've posted from another general theme mag/comm (e.g. a country one or a cooking one) and it's got relevance to SEA;
self-promotional posts is tolerated (max. 3x/week). We don't count cross-posting of your own posts self-promotional if there's no expectation of sales or increasing audience/reach;
the rules are a work in progress; and
mag owner is a bit of an anarchist and anticolonialist and has opinions about the myth of meritocracy
