Tsu Hsiang (Fui-On Shing) is a cop happy with his wife Chu (Siu-Fung Wong) who leaves her — while pregnant no less — to chase a tip given to him by a child named Power Steering (Wai-Kit Tse). The triads he’s tailing find him and kill him on a construction site by dumping all sorts of building materials on him, except a magic cat sits on his chest and lightning comes down and turns Tsu into, well, The Blue Jean Monster, powered by electricity and out to kill his killers.
Fui-On Shing is often the second banana in movies, so who knew that he’d star in a film where he was repeatedly impaled and almost killed over and over again, only to come back by devouring electricity? This is one strange movie and I wouldn’t have it any others way. Hopefully, Tsu can live long enough to see his son get born and keep his jeans tight so his intestines stop falling out.
The 88 Films limited edition blu ray of this movie has a slipcase with brand-new artwork from James Neal, a 2K remaster from the original camera negative, an interview with assistant director Sam Leong and a trailer. You can get it from MVD.
