Cult
star Dick Wei writes, directs and stars in this very unusual [and rare]
cop film. In this movie, Dick - once again - plays the bad guy. He's a
vicious yet affluent gangster who has fallen under police radar to become
the target in a sting operation. This makes Dick furious. He and his gang
break into the cop's condo and kill both his wife and young son. When
the detective arrives home, he catches Dick on the way out and corners
him. But Dick doesn't want to give the cop the satisfaction of making
an arrest, so he jumps to his death. The detective, still hungry for vengeance,
follows Dick into Hell.
Over
the years, since 1973, Dick Wei [born in Taiwan as Dik Wai, 1953] appeared
in close to 150 films. He has most always been the villain of the movie,
the foil to everyone from Jackie Chan to Moon Lee. For his early martial
arts projects [HEAVEN
SWORD, DRAGON SABRE, et al], he used the alias Tu Lung,
later switching to Dick Wei for WITCH
FROM NEPAL and SEVENTH
CURSE. After moving from Hong Kong to Beijing in the late '90s,
he is still acting today, but concentrating more on television than the
big screen.
