One of the most infamous movies branded with Hong Kong’s Category III adults only rating, Taxi Hunter is the story of Ah Kin (Anthony Wong), a man who was quiet and kind until he loses his pregnant wife to an unprofessional taxi driver.
If you’ve seen Herman Yau’s Ebola Syndrome, you know the levels of craziness that he can bring to the screen. Now, he puts the Taxi Hunter on the hunt, testing drivers to see if they meet his level of professionalism. If they don’t meet his grade, they die.
The problem? Well, other than all the death and destruction, his brother-in-law Yu Kai Chung (Yu Rong Guang) is a cop who may be forced to kill Ah Kin to stop his path of yellow cab serial killing.
If you’re ready for taxi chases, gunplay and, well, pregnant women being dragged by taxi cabs to their bloody doom, well…you still aren’t ready for this movie.
The 88 Films release of Taxi Hunter has commentary by Hong Kong film expert Frank Djeng, interviews with writer Tony Leung Hung-Wah, action director James Ha and Anthony Wong, a trailer, an image gallery and a reversible cover with new artwork by Sean Longmore and the original poster. You can get it from MVD.
