This
legendary Category III film has seldom been seen in its entirety. It
was censored by the Hong Kong government, animal activists, distributors
and even individual theaters (fearing it could inspire cinema bombings
as depicted in the film). This motion picture - now fully uncut at 115
minutes - could be [and probably is] the most nihilistic movie ever
made. Angry. Offensive. Belligerent. Warning: It's not for everyone.
The
story deals with three nerdy friends - Paul, Lung and Ko - who accidentally
kill a pedestrian while cruising in daddy's car. The only witness is
young, psychotic woman named Pearl. She decides to blackmail them, not
for money but rather for their morality. She enjoys dominating the spineless
teens as she forces them to participate in her wave of reckless activities.
They begin detonating bombs in theaters, accosting innocent civilians
and generally creating unhinged moments of anarchy. Their dangerous
games lead to a confrontation with the Triad and ultimately to a dire,
grisly conclusion.
