This is the first film to star Gordon Liu of MASTER KILLER fame(billed as Liu Chia Fai here) so it has some historical value. It doesn't really have much else going for it though. It starts out with some Japanese occupiers treating Chinese people like shit, so you would think it's gonna be one of those Chinese heroes vs. diabolical Japanese movies, especially given the "OPRESSION" title and all, but they mostly abandon that pretty quickly and it becomes a sorta murder mystery for most of the film. Fairly uneventful and forgettable stuff. You do get to see Mr. Liu with hair though, so that's different. AKA DEADLY STRIKE
There is also a 1982 BREAKOUT FROM OPRESSION(originally titled EXPOSED TO DANGER) from Taiwan that has no connection to this one and I don't think is even a martial arts film.
