Collectors’ Note: This title represents a unique collaboration between Italian Western and Hong Kong martial-arts cinema under the Shaw Brothers banner. Australian daybills for Blood Money are relatively scarce, particularly in clean, unfolded condition. It attracts both Spaghetti Western and kung-fu film collectors due to its cross-genre pedigree and cult following of Lee Van Cleef and Lo Lieh. Values have steadily increased alongside renewed appreciation for 1970s Euro-Asian co-productions.
