Viewing Notes

Such an odd movie! I’d love for this to get a nice remastered release as the version on YouTube isn’t the best quality of course.

In Hong Kong, an encounter of the first kind means a criminal with explosives. Essentially this is a story of bored youth turning into juvenile delinquents. Predictably things go sideways for them when they hook up with another bored teen girl whose brother happens to be a police officer, played by Lo Lieh.

You have no idea where this is going until it gets there!
