One of the most infamous movies branded with Hong Kong's 'adults only' Category III rating, Taxi Hunter bravely tackles the under-explored scourge of - er - unprofessional taxi drivers. After his pregnant wife is perishes through the actions of a careless (and callous) cabby, mild-mannered Ah Kin (Anthony 'king of the Cat III's' Wong) declares war on the entire profession - and you don't need 'The Knowledge' to know he won't be leaving a tip...

Directed by Herman Yau (who unleashed Ebola Syndrome on an unsuspecting world) 88 Films are pleased to present this important treatise on public transport in a wonderful new Blu-ray edition.

Press Quotes

A really well put together revenge thriller with sufficient blood and violence to keep the gore hounds satisfied but also enough nuances to elevate it above the usual conventions... an unexpectedly good film.

     —Ben Stykuc, Asian Movie Pulse

Cabbies beware! Stop rigging those meters! Don't snap at those passengers... Between Wong's rock-solid performance and Herman Yau's confident direction, this film boasts considerably more entertainment value than its silly-ass premise would indicate.

     —JJ Bona, City of Fire

Entertaining and interesting exploitation fodder based on an actual taxi strike on Hong Kong. Anthony Wong is great as the 'taxi hunter'... Hong Kong exploitation at its best.

     —Kozo, Love HK Film.com

The film’s transfer is a definite upgrade from previous editions. The film appears to be a newer source or transfer from prior editions. The image is solid with upticks in quality, sharpness, color, and definition in black levels. The Blu-ray looks more wholly like the film and the detail that they were able to get out of the image is impressive.

     —ADAM KAUTZER, The Movie Isle

Those who know Wong from his more manic roles will enjoy seeing him chew on a more nuanced character even though eventually he slips into the insanity like a well worn pair of shoes. Overall, it's an intriguing take on the "society driving men mad" genre.
