Another VCD obscurity with Lo Lieh, this time he’s a gang boss with very little screen time.  Chen Kuan-Tai is also along for the ride as a Dirty Harry no fucking rules type cop hunting a pair of psychopathic brothers on a killing spree. This is not one of the action packed heroic bloodshed films that would dominate Hong Kong cinema just a few years later. No helicopters or flaming infernos or stuntmen jumping off impossibly high structures but there’s heaps of violence here, much of it grim and mean. Don’t worry there’s also plenty of fun to be had. Disco fistfight, natural gas leak freakout, auntie explosion, not-so-erotic-asphyxiation, security guard street drag, it’s a damn good time.
