VISAYAN/KUNG FU 

NOTES by Andrew Leavold

Yet another Pinoy kung fu feature missing since the Seventies, Visayan Dragon has the distinction of being one of those rarest of creatures alongside Chiquito's Enter Garote (1974), a Visayan martial arts film filmed in and around Cebu. Helmed by Sol Gaudite, director of the majority of Roberto Gonzalez's early karate films, I'm yet to find evidence of any screenings outside the Visayan region.
