Check this out, exploitation fans!

This film is based VERY closely to real events in a homicide that took place in Hong Kong the year before the film came out. The mermaid Hello-kitty in the film, that the killers store the victims skull in after they've finished torturing her and cutting up her corpse, is identical to the mermaid Hello-kitty doll that the real killers used in the exact same way. (Note: In the non-theatrical versions of the film *dvd, vcd*, Sanrio demanded that the film makers digitally fog the doll. This aspect makes the film even more strange!)

This is a disturbing film and a very memorable experience, that is all the more insane and outrageous when you take into account that it actually happened.

Another film, "HUMAN PORKCHOP" was made around the same time, and is based on the same case, although it takes a few more liberties with the story.
