Reviewed by Andrew Borntreger on 'a long time ago'

The Characters:  

Green Dot Ricky - Young man sentenced to prison for killing a opium dealer. (Who was responsible for Ying's death.)
Green Dot The Warden - Evil controller of the prison, he carries a pistol which makes people explode and seems to be a demon too. Turned into ground beef (literally) by Ricky.
Green Dot The Assistant Warden - Fat and mean henchman with a glass eye and hook hand. Explodes after being shot by the Warden.
Green Dot Huang Chan - Very deadly at martial arts and a gang boss, he is awfully feminine though. Ricky rips off or breaks all his limbs.
Green Dot Taizan - Huge gang boss who can crush a man's skull. (see below!) Mashed under a hydraulic press after Ricky cripples him.
Green Dot Shorty - Little gang boss who uses large spikes attached to elastic bands. Shot in the ass and explodes.
Green Dot Hai - Tatoo wearing gang boss. Ricky punches his skull in.
Green Dot Wild Cat, Fink, and Elephant - Bullies of the cell block. Ricky punches through Elephant and Wild Cat, he only knocks the top off of Fink's head.

The Plot: 

THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL GORY FU FLICKS!

Plainly amazing, we are talking heads punched in half, guys using their intestines (hanging out of their body cavity) to strangle Ricky, people exploding, and internal organs flying all over the place.

Ricky arrives in prison after killing a opium dealer, the guy had kidnapped his girlfriend and she ran off the side of a building to get away. (I never said she was intelligent.) The prison is run by a evil Warden (Away on vacation when the film begins.), his assistant, and "The Gang of Four." This gang is a group of powerful fighters who rule the inmates through fear. Now Ricky does not take kindly to their ways, fighting and killing Hai in a brutal exchange where Ricky must tie his severed tendons back together. After that the other three show up and gratuitously slaughter a few prisoners until Ricky backs down. Here is the legendary "Head Crush" scene, by the way.

Pretty soon the young warrior learns they are growing poppy in the prison. He sets fire to the crop and things really take off. The Warden returns and is quite angry about the uprising. Ricky kills the remainder of "The Gang of Four" and faces off against him, finally tossing the monster into a meat grinding machine!

I cannot say enough about the crazy number of body parts being mashed, at one point Ricky punches through the bottom of Taizan's jaw and out his mouth! On a "that is way nasty" note, the Assistant Warden keeps mints in his glass eye; it is hollow.

If you are of the hardy sort who loves crazy and bloody kung fu, this is your paradise.

Things I Learned From This Movie: 

Green Dot Wood lathes should be used in Rhinoplasty.
Green Dot Dead prisoners are kept handcuffed.
Green Dot The inside of your hand is made out of styrofoam.
Green Dot Kneecaps are ticklish.
Green Dot Destroying gravestones is okay if it's for Kung Fu training.
Green Dot People keep their fake eye in a glass of ice water.
Green Dot Glass eyes are full of mints.
Green Dot You can tie your tendons together.
Green Dot Leaves sound just like a flute if you know how to play them.
Green Dot You can stop someone's heart with a certain martial arts punch.
Green Dot Prisons have rooms boobytrapped to fill with cement.
Green Dot Cement really will turn you into stone!
Green Dot Kung Fu masters can split a bamboo pole with their tongue. (So why are they always single?)
Green Dot Asian women exhibit "Lemming Syndrome."
Green Dot Straight razor blades are not food.
Green Dot Never put your foot through a hot water heater.

The legendary "Head Crush" scene. This is just a part of the insane goodness, there are plenty of injuries which would make trauma room nurses faint.

I bought this movie a few years back on the tai seng label... all Manderin, no subs.  Strangely, it did't detract too much.
But gorehounds rejoice!  A dubbed version is being released this summer!  Check out Amazon.com for details.

This film is the best I've seen this year (1999).  It really puts to shame that American Fist of the North Star movie with Sean Penn's fat brother.  AMAZON.COM should have this film on VHS already, so go to them if you don't live in the US.

I have had this movie for over two months,and I watch it once every week. I never get tired of it. Oh would I kill if I could find a wav of "We're gonna get you for killing Freddyyyyy! Yaaaaah!". I would be complete. The English dubbed version is a treat because half of the voice talents in this movie sound so ridiculous it's laughable. But seriously,a glass eye is no place to put your mints.

I watched this movie and watch out.. There's a version of it out there that is heavily censored. The packaging was in Chinese but everything was subtitled. (Not dubbed over) As soon as you began to have gore, the damn censors cut it out.. Ruined most of the movie for me. Although, the fight scenes in this movie were classic. :)

ImageFaster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! - Slime drop

Review first posted on 27 January 2007. Varla is more like a man-eating tiger than a kitten, and her reckless desires could be her undoing. Think of her as a Shakespearean tragic hero with cleavage and judo chops.

Lesson Learned:
Green Dot There is something worse than golf pants.
