This Tsui Hark film is an early masterpiece. He would never make a film like this again. Angry, brutal, violent, and creative. Also, occasionally funny. This one is a must-see for Hark fans, along with "Butterfly Murders" and "We're Going to Eat You". | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

Tsui Hark's finest hour. An absolutely amazing piece of enraged cinema and one of the most sweat inducing thrillers ever made. It features Lo Lieh's finest non-fighting performance, but even he is upstaged by Lin Chin Chi. She posses the scariest and most intense "stare" in H.K. cinema and rivals that of her Japanese counterparts such as Meiko Kaji and Yukari Oshima. Could've done without the animal cruelty, however. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| I don't know why everyone gives this underated movie a miss. It was banned in Hong Kong for too much violence when it first came out, considering the country's censorship. Later, Tsui Huk had to re-shoot some of the scenes in order to make it through. The plot is tight and gets faster and faster; when it reaches the end, you will know what showdown means. Surely Lo Lieh's Dirty Harry image is fantastic, especially when those Vietnam veterans are coming after the students. You can only hope for Lo Lieh to come to the rescue, and he is not a "good guy" either!!!
The violence and the gun fight scene in the end make this a classic. If you compare it with "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" or "XXX", you will know what I mean. Besides, [the DVD I watched] had a lot of extras, including an interview with Tsui and Lo, deleted scenes which you cannot find elsewhere. For all of this, it is highly recommended!!! |
