also known as DR LAMB 2
director:
Chung Siu-Hung (as Billy Chung)
starring: Simon Lam · Joey Tan · Mark Cheng · Sam Lee · Tung Cho Cheung
· Gladys Fung
In England,
Dr Greg Fong invents a super steroid drug (known as SS160), a cure for
most any illnesses or disorders. It also genetically changes the body
into someone with superhuman strength. But Fong's obsession with the drug
has caused a paranoid mental disorder. When his British partner makes
an attempt to steal the formula for himself, the unhinged Fong kills him.
Then Fong and girlfriend Vivian leave to Hong Kong where he begins working
with an old friend, Mike Chow, a doctor involved in black market organ
trafficking. One night, Chow rapes Dr Fong's girlfriend and she reacts
by becoming entranced with him. When Dr Fong discovers the infidelity,
he decides to get revenge by using his deceitful friend as a guinea pig
for new experiments.
Simon
Yam (born March 19, 1955, as Yam Tat-wah) has become one of Hong Kong's
perennial actors with over 200 films to his name. At age 20, he found
work as a model before a decade of HK television work. Simon's popularity
exploded in 1992 with a demonic villainous role in Ringo Lam's FULL
CONTACT. Later that same year came his most famous movie, Billy
Tang's DR
LAMB followed by NAKED
KILLER. Over the years, Simon Yam has starred in a wide variety
of films - including a few Hollywood projects like Lara Croft Tomb
Raider: Cradle of Life - but in an exclusive interview in Asian
Cult Cinema #33, he said his favorite movies are the ones he made
with director Johnnie To: ELECTION,
EXILED
and TRIANGLE.
Genre fans always point to ultra-violent DAY
WITHOUT POLICEMEN and RUN
AND KILL.
Director
Billy Chung produced and wrote this film as a sequel to the aforementioned
DR LAMB but the original production company, Grand River Film Ltd, refused
permission [thus the odd English language title]. Mr Chung - longtime
collaborator with HK producer Wong Jing - also helmed the Anthony Wong
classic LOVE
TO KILL with Kirk Wong as well as UNDERCOVER,
COLOUR
OF LOYALTY and NAKED
WEAPON (as producer).
