I was under the impression that I had seen this some years back, today I realized that I had never laid eyes on this thing after all. Follows the usual recipe of Anthony Wong CatIIIs - odd slapstick, slutty wife, psychos and meat cleavers. Wong's wife uses a triad loan shark to settle some debt, which results in her getting raped repeatedly before being burned alive. Seeing as their kid caught fire too, we get to see a scene were said horribly burn-scarred kid gets told that he'll never be able to play video games again - everyone cries and there's some sad guitar music. I'm not the one being macabre here though, the flick is a comedy and never even once attempts to be serious. A redeemed Dr. Lamb even makes an appearance! Superduper tasteless, cheap and liberatingly entertaining.
