Tai Seng made a subtitled VHS. I sent an e-mail inquiry as to the current status of the film with a link to an image of the Tai Seng VHS cover.

I read on a forum that one of the actors in this died in 1970, so the film was post likely made in the late 1960s, and the music added later.

According to the Hong Kong Film Data Base the film is from Taiwan (1982) not Hong Kong. There is an English subtitled vhs from Taiwan but it's very rare.
