Guest theportlykicker Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Don't get it!! It's awful!! Somehow, it won loads of awards in HK when it first came out though. :x Luckily, I got it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've never seen this film myself but remember reading a review several years ago about it being set in the future and being rather weird. Said they were trying something different but it must not have worked out too well, lol. Didn't Wang Lung Wei direct this? If he did, I wonder if this was his only directorial effort?

Guest dager in the cotton Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I liked this film a lot, if you do get , get the cantonese vers, it was directed by kirk wong, wang lung wei is great in it, he mashes up neo nazis wearing gas masks and the end fight with this mad korean guy is brilliant. the film was originally called "Mad man" and was about feauding kickboxing gyms set in HK 1981,(The footage I saw on that was brilliant) don't know why he changed it to the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knetan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 hey, believe it's known as Health Warning too. Quite a unique film and creative in its low budget ways. Tai Seng's dvd blurb promises a fight between a man and a kangaroo. Nope, it's not in the film but in Nam Nai-choi's Killer's Nocturn instead.

Guest Jesse Smooth Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have an old Ocean Shores tape. Think this is WLW's ONLY true good guy role. Love to see this in LBX. Sorta inspired by films like BLADERUNNER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest morgoth Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 What about the final fight Portly? Worth seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theportlykicker Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hmmm... it's probably the best part of the movie by far, but that's not exactly saying much. WLW was good, and the villain was pretty good too, but the choreo was very sloppy. It's definitely not worth buying the movie for, but if you can see it for free...
