Directed by Chin-Ku Lu, this Hong Kong exploitation flick mashes together a salacious mix of nudity, rudimentary special effects, martial arts, police drama, and rapey vampirism. Our main protagonist is Shiang Chi-Fei (Donnie Yen), a college professor who is arrested for murder very early on in the film after a late-night barbeque with a group of his female students (totally professionally ethical, I’m sure) is interrupted by the arrival of a demon moon-god with glowing green eyes and a penchant for sexually assaulting girls and then murdering them. Shiang, being the only witness to the crime and the bearer of an unbelievable story, is promptly taken into custody by the local police force.
Here’s the thing- Donnie Yen would become one of the highest paid actors in Hong Kong cinema! Perhaps that’s why the fight scenes and the last 30 minutes of the film are so good. Yen is an expert at martial arts onscreen. He was superb in JOHN WICK 4. This guy is a legend. But even legends have to start somewhere.

We did shows at bars and clubs LIMELIGHT, KABOOM, THE LYRIC OPERA (!), THE BIOGRAPH THEATER, THE LIAR'S CLUB and many more places. This meant you had to be 21 to attend and there were no dealer tables.
We were the only fandom that had an equal number of women in the group at a time when women avoided fandom! Join us on Facebook here: The party starts now
