Fly Me

About This Movie

So, Fly Me is this oddball mix of action and drama from '73, where the stakes are high and the kung fu is, well, surprisingly decent. You’ve got these stewardesses who are way more than just flight attendants—they’re battling a group of kung fu killers, which gives the film this unique vibe. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to its charm, I guess. The practical effects are pretty low-key but work well enough to keep you engaged. The performances have a rawness that feels authentic, even if the direction is a bit shaky. It’s a strange piece from the era, but that’s what makes it stand out in a collector’s shelf.

Fly Me has had a bit of a checkered history in terms of availability. It's not frequently seen on mainstream platforms, which adds to its allure for collectors. The VHS tapes from the '90s are out there, but they can be tricky to find in good condition. Interest seems to be growing among genre enthusiasts, particularly those drawn to the oddities of 70s cinema, so keeping an eye out for it might be worth it.
