Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Wong Chi Hang kills the first child, you can see that the cleaver travels through the child (positioned on the right side of the scene) and the blood splatter spurts on Wongs face directly from the underside, nowhere near where the child was positioned earlier. more
Quotes:
[last lines]
Narrator: Although prima facie was enough to sue Wong Chi Hang for murdering Cheng Lam's family, the Macau cops couldn't sue him successfully because he had a strong attempt to commit suicide. He prefered killing himself that being judged. The file of the tragedy of Pat Sin Restaurant has been forced to be closed.

Hard to watch, 17 October 2003
Author: movieman_kev from United States

This nasty little number from Hong Kong was at times hard for me to sit through. It's about a psycho who makes pork buns from human bodies. Sure it's not that original, but it more than makes up for it in sheer brutality. The comedy of the cops only makes the eminent horror all the more potent.

Let me make it clear, I'm speaking of the brutality of the psycho, not the brutality inflicted on him. I've read many reviews of this film, where the reviewer say he "feels sorry" for the guy in some scenes. Not me, that POS deserved EVERYTHING he got. If the measure of a good film is the amount of emotion it brings out in the viewer, then I hesitantly give it that. But it's definitely not for the squeamish.

My Grade: 3 out of 4 bloody machetes

DVD Extras: 2 Commentaries (one with the Director, the other with the star) Cast Biographies; Trailers for The Underground Banker, Mangkok Story, Ebola Syndrome, Cop Image, Organized Crime & Triad Bureau, Beast Cops, Armageddon; Theatrical hong kong Trailer
