Mark... stop it.... I'm getting scared that i know this shit...
Okay these are from my brain right at this moment..
there was a series of 3 movies made in West Australia in teh mid-80s. "The Panther", "The Panther strikes..." "The Panther, etc..." Something
liek that. I'm pretty sure it starred a Greek-Australian martial artist. I cannot find any reference to them at all. But I know they existed even if
I haven't seen them. My memory may be vague sometimes but I'm certain of this info is somethat correct.
Also the lame-o Nicole Kidman ninja flick from 87, Watch the Shadows Dance aka Nightmaster. (US title)
And don't forget the Aussie legend Richard Norton. What? You've never heard of him. Revoke your Australian passport right now. He was in a few Chuck
Norris films, starting with The Octagon.
Here he is in Jackie Chan's The City Hunter. He was also in the Australian filmed Jackie movie, Mr Nice Guy. Shot in Melb & the Hunter
Valley.
This is the only Aussie film he made about 10 years ago.
UNDER THE GUN aka Ironfist.
I cannot believe I found a trailer for it as well.
View trailer
An incomplete filmography.
FILMOGRAPHY
He was also in some other HK films not listed here.
Now if I could only remember the Australian chick who went to Hong Kong to make films....?
I cannot think of any others???

Okay something just occured to me Richard Norton was in a whole heap of films with Cynthia Rothrock. And I also remember the Aussie chick was in a HK
filmed Rothrock movie. Damn, I'm actually stuck on this one. Just can't remember the name.
Trivia that just popped in my head.
Richard Norton's wife is Judy Green.
Now Judy used to be a model & first appeared as one of Alby Mangels ladies on board his world travelling boat adventures. She then became a houshold
name by also being one of the models on Sale of the Century in the 80s.

Wasn't she also married to Singo?
And you guys have got to be kidding about the Alby Mangles call? Dead set toss bag more like it! My friend's dad (an SA explorer type who shall
remain nameless) did loads of trip with him in the eighties, and he tells some interesting stories about ol' Alby.
Edit: I've just realised it was Belinda Green who was married to Singo. Also a model and former miss world. Duh!

I'm not even going to spend any time looking up the name of that movie. I saw it at the cinema and it was shite. Jackie's parents live in Canberra I
think... he should do more films here... well, actually Jet Li should.

Don't you guys read my posts properly.
Apparently after the filming in the Hunter Valley, the Hong Kong production company left such a mess they were told to never ever come. If you've
seen the film, you'll know what I mean.

Now now Serena keep those vicious rumors to yourself there will be no tainting the good name of old Alby on my watch. Mr Mangles is a man amongst
mice.

For goodness sake! It's hardly a rumour when you hear it from someone who heard it from someone else, who heard it from someone else. How dare you
question my credibility!
