Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!

Sammo Hung is one of the greatest action directors and stars in the world, so why is this movie, which he choreographed and produced at the height of his fame, so forgotten? Why was it only ever released on VHS and laserdisc? And why did we only find this 35mm print through sheer dumb luck?

But this forgotten film is an undiscovered gem, a brutal late-80s neo-noir that sees a rich kid and a poor kid handcuffed together by accident and trying to survive one long, dark night of endless mayhem. Swinging wildly in tone from scenes of charming romance and goofy comedy to brutal beatdowns and bloody retribution, it stars a martial artist who’d go on to become a regular cinematic bad guy beating down everyone from Jet Li to Keanu Reeves, and a stuntman turned B-list action hero giving the performance of his life. Even better, the romantic lead is a Cat III starlet most famous for taking off her clothes, but here giving a charismatic turn as the beating heart of this film. Don’t miss this B-list exploitation film that turns out to hit harder, kick higher, and bleed more beautifully than movies with ten times its budget.
