Quick Takes:A Man From Holland
All Content Used With Permission.
The print as presented on vcd by Ocean Shores is often so dark that this gangster-cops actioner becomes utterly incomprehensible. Then again I'm certain that if all was crystal clear, A Man From Holland would still rank as an uninteresting exercise anyway. Aside from some fine tension at the very end (a confrontation between Michael Chan and Phillip Ko), director Kong relies on stock genre scenes and exploitation elements. For instance, John Ladalski is a drug dealer that later appears in a beach scene where he's tied a woman down and is painting her with either brushes or tortoises. Phillip Ko turns up just before he John unleashes an eel on her! There's a also a transvestite killer in this mix. Is Kong trying to get a point across? Then it surely is that he's incapable of dealing with the genre. Ray Lui and Kwan Hoi-San co-stars.
