THE OUTFIT (Flynn, 1973)

A classic!

Lock the gate.

Andy Lau is lucky this dude didn't steal his girl right here.

Happy Friday y'all. Thanks to them that have bought COUNT THE DUST from @leftoverbooks.bsky.social. Today I'm offering to give away 2 copies. Repost this post between now and the end of the weekend and I'll put your name in a random draw machine thing Monday and pick 2 winners.
