Guest ironfistedmonk Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Has anyone else checked this one out yet? I'm a sucker for the whodunit investigation kung fu movies and this one is quite interesting. There is a serial killer who is bumping off all of the women who fancy a dashing young fighter named Hsiao Feng (played by Wei Pei), the killer is known as the Phantom and dresses like a monk (similar to how Eddy Ko dressed in Duel to the Death, not the typical Shaolin Monk). There isn't alot of action, what there is is pretty solid stuff but it's got an interesting story which keeps you guessing, good stuff.

Guest Cesare Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Phantom Killer is a decent flick, yes... Somewhat naive at times, maybe, but still - I was quite surprised by how well the plot worked and how well the suspense was built up...

Member Winfred Posted November 30, 2007 Member Share Posted November 30, 2007 I am happy with this VCD as the aspect ratio is correct. Movie was riveting and Wei Pai was excellent. Interesting to see Shaw actress Shaw Yin Yin in a cameo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member venoms5 Posted March 12, 2008 Member Share Posted March 12, 2008 Watched this tonight and it was actually pretty good. Someone compared this to HUMAN LANTERNS. Although I don't see the connection aside from the use of a skull mask, the film did remind me slightly of certain plot points in Nicolas Roeg's DON'T LOOK NOW (1974) and Argento's PHENOMENA (1985). The suspense scenes were handled nicely and I would have liked this more had there been a DVD. A nice mix of horror and kung fu but there's more of the former than the latter.

Member venoms5 Posted March 12, 2008 Member Share Posted March 12, 2008 Oh, forgot, the music or the bulk of it is ripped from PIRANHA (1978). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member venoms5 Posted March 14, 2008 Member Share Posted March 14, 2008 i like this movie but vcd is not so good. Especially when you watch it on a big monitor the picture is atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted March 15, 2008 Member Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yes, very sad that Joy Sales doesn't give this a dvd release. Not even remastered, anything but VCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ekisha Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 yeah i wonder why Joy Sales' most releases are only available on vcd?There are lot of good flicks starting from 70's to 90's but they release them without remastering and only on poor quality vcds. ________ Lovely Wendie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they realy aren't interested in providing us with a resonable product, let alone a quality one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cesare Posted March 16, 2008 Member Share Posted March 16, 2008 Better VCD than nothing at all - but a DVD release *would* be nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted June 8, 2021 Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 So that's why Stanley Fung usually wore a hat. Anyway, this is from issue #128 of Cinemart (August 1980). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
