Interesting facts

Million Dollars Snatch also known as Kung Fu Sting, is a 1976 Hong Kong crime thriller neo-noir film directed by Ng See-yuen.

Production and Release

Million Dollars Snatch was loosely based on the real life robbery of HK$75 million from an armored car for the Hang Seng Bank in 1975, roughly equivalent to USD $10,000,000 at the time.

The film was produced by the Dak Lee Moving Picture Company, with Ng See-yuen acting as a director for hire shortly after the formation of his company, Seasonal Film Corporation in 1975. In Hong Kong, the film was a modest box office success, and was a major inspiration for other sensational crime films released by Hong Kong studios in the 1970s. It released theatrically in America under the title Kung Fu Sting.
