A
Deranged Doctor Attempts to Cure his Daughter's Dwarfism...
director: Chan Dei (as Ta Chan)
starring: Lau Kong · Cheng Miu · Teresa Ha Ping
Initially,
Pituitary Glands are missing from corpses in the hospital morgue. But
then, the grisly theft accelerates to people getting killed on the street
and having their pituitary removed from the brain. Police are on the trail;
however their investigation leads them to a variety of other crimes (which
include a nurse who tries to make stiff corpses line and up and march
by biting them, a man who eats live animals but is lured out of his lair).
As it turns out, the Pituitary Crimes are orchestrated by a doctor trying
to heal his daughter of dwarfism ['cause she dreams of being a ballerina].
Dr Kwok is assisted by a bodybuilder midget - often on stilts - who helps
with the messy killings.
This was one
of the last Category III films made in Hong Kong before the Chinese takeover
which homogenized the film industry. It remains the only film directed
by Chan Dei, a studio technician who went on to work in numerous projects
(including BEHIND
THE PINK DOOR and CHINA
DOLLS) as the Audio Director.
Lead actor Lau Kong was discovered by John Woo and appeared in most of
his films, from Hands of Death in 1972 through HARDBOILED
(1992). He is still active today - after 65+ productions - as one of the
stars of the Hong Kong television series Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain.
