Toxic Avenger has a big nunchuka scene, but I don`t think you`ll ever see it in the UK. The best nunchuka scene is in Way of the Dragon.
most movies with nunchuka scenes were origanally cut and its doubtful that they will ever be re-released with the cut scenes re-instated unlike the bruce lee movies.
nunchaku`s are no longer on the BBFC hit-list.
Best bet is to buy HK films direct.
There are less use of nunchaku`s than you may think, but some films are worth a look (e.g Dragon from Russia)

Speaking of which -
TPR007 - what do you think of Shaolin v Lama?
I bought it for £5 - HMV sale.
Have to say it is the best old school kungfu film I have seen yet.
Very disapponting it is not in widescreen.
Not so impressed with Born Invincible - also £5.
Am awaiting Fong Sai Yuk, Bride w white hair and Prodigal son from dddhouse.
Shaolin Vs Lama is a good `un! was it VHS?
I LOVE prodigal son - the choreography is so fast and quick - especially for an "old school" style flick - and lam ching yin is superb - did u read the review of it at Dragons Den UK (link above)
S v L was on DVD. My HMV (Glasgow - Argyle St) still has a few at £5.
I read the P Son review at Dragon`s Den. It hasn`t steered me wrong yet - after buying about 20 recommends!
I found the Jet Li flick Hong Kong Cult Master on DVD for £5 in my local Global. Couldn`t resist but Dragon`s Den slates it.
Ah well for a fiver can`t complain. Looks like a spectacle.
damn
why can`t I find those dvd`s for a fiver :(
I quite lik KFCM - (i didn`t write that review!)
and SvLama is good
oh well, have to keep searching for bargains!
