Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 19, 2008 Member Share Posted April 19, 2008 This guy's a madman! I must see more of him. And I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but I thought it was awesome. Wang Lung Wei goes off on people. A lot of people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted April 19, 2008 Member Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've never seen this flick before but now you got me interested. The fights are really that good huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 20, 2008 Author Member Share Posted April 20, 2008 Well, I can't say that the choreography is great or anything, but WLW shines brightly. It's done 80's HK kickboxing style, but it feels more raw. WLW really messes people up in this. I saw a lot of real contact. Damn I had a good time watching this! There's just something about seeing WLW in a long black raincoat beating people down that gets me excited. I remember someone once mentioning an uncut version. I would love to see it, because I doubt the Tai Seng version is uncut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tantheman Posted April 20, 2008 Member Share Posted April 20, 2008 I got a vcd version of this movie unfortunately without subs so I had no idea what was going on, but I liked it a lot too. Maybe that could be the uncut version? I thought the atmospherics and lighting were cool for such a low budget movie. Also love the scene when the girls are singing along with the cover of The Velvet Underground's Venus in Furs, ace! Love Eddy Ko too, he's great in everything. Wish I knew who the guy WLW fights at the end is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 20, 2008 Author Member Share Posted April 20, 2008 Elvis Tsui does have a really weird fight in this, but it's not the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jesse Smooth Posted April 21, 2008 Member Share Posted April 21, 2008 Ray Lui Leung-Wai. I think its him. I have the old Ocean Shores VHS that I haven't seen in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 21, 2008 Author Member Share Posted April 21, 2008 Nah, Ray Lui plays WLW's buddy at the start of the movie. SPOILER ALERT HERE- The Nazi woman has sex with him when he's injured and he dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Endsang Posted April 21, 2008 Member Share Posted April 21, 2008 SPOILER ALERT HERE- The Nazi woman has sex with him when he's injured and he dies. Sounds like a seriously intimidating movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gfanikf Posted April 21, 2008 Member Share Posted April 21, 2008 Sounds like a seriously intimidating movie. Sweet. I can't wait to watch this later on. I have some dubbed FS copy of it. I've look at clips weird, weird, weird. Obviously this means it will be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 22, 2008 Author Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 It is pretty amazing. I mean, you can see it's bad, but with the music, the serious tone, and constant smoke in the backround, I just had a great time watching it. And here's maybe the best part of the movie. Eddie Ko tells Wang Lung Wei to "go chop down a forest for fire", and then you see Wang Lung Wei chop down the forest (or what was left of the forest).

Member gfanikf Posted April 22, 2008 Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 What is the opening screen supposed to say? It's not translated in my dub version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 22, 2008 Author Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 Probably has something to do with those Neo Nazi people taking over. The Tai Seng version doesn't translate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tantheman Posted May 4, 2008 Member Share Posted May 4, 2008 Sorry for the extremely late reply for this, had been without computer.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 4, 2008 Author Member Share Posted May 4, 2008 No problem. Thanks for the reply. 77:49 is the running time on the Tai Seng version. Does anyone have a longer cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
