A fatal fare awaits Hong Kong's mean-spirited cabbies
4 out of 5 stars
A fatal fare awaits Hong Kong's mean-spirited cabbies
A once mild-mannered and successful insurance salesman is turned into an unstable murderous vigilante after seeing his pregnant wife tragically die due to an incident involving a rude and heartless Taxi driver. Now every cabbie in Hong Kong is a potential victim if they are caught acting in an unprofessional manner.Anthony Wong teams up once again with director Herman Yau who gave us the CAT III nasties THE UNTOLD STORY and EBOLA SYNDROME, but 1993's TAXI HUNTER is far more restrained compared to those two notoriously gruesome films. It's still a pretty violent film at times but nothing over the top or graphic. Anthony Wong in the lead as the grieving widower turned violent justice-giver is typically great as usual and it was nice to see him in role where you can sympathize with his cause rather than despise him. The film is mostly shot at night adding heavily to the atmosphere with the gritty neon-lit streets of urbanised Hong Kong setting the backdrop for where certain unpleasant taxi drivers ply their unfair trade. Despite not being an all-out action film there's still a couple of decent action sequences to enjoy, particularly the car chase sequence at the end which was well shot and choreographed. The film did feel a bit underdeveloped and rushed at times but it's an interesting premise that's wrapped up in 90 minutes of watchable entertainment and plays out like a cross between FALLING DOWN (1993) and a role-reversed TAXI DRIVER (1976).Hitting blu-ray for the first time courtesy of 88 Films is another solid release with a very good transfer featuring the original Cantonese audio accompanied by English subtitles. Fantastic Sean Longmore artwork is once again employed which also features on the included poster along with the original Hong Kong theatrical artwork on the reverse side. 88 Films have once again used the thinner slimline case for this release just like with their recent Blu-ray of MAGIC COP so this appears to be the way forward now for their Asian titles which does break up the uniformity of them on the shelves which is a bit of a shame, but if you're getting short of shelf space this may come as a welcome relief.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good Drama! Not really exploitation though
    Reviewed in the United States on 4 September 2023
    Verified Purchase
    First off, this film was marketed as an infamous "Category 3" film, basically meaning the equivalent of "Unrated" here in America, and its from the director of other infamous disturbing films like "Ebola Syndrome" and "Untold story". So if you were expecting lots of gratuitous gore and sex or any kind of "Shock content", then you will be very disappointed as this doesn't really have any graphic gore and it surprisingly doesn't have any sex or nudity either. It's basically a pretty standard "Vigilante" film similar to "Death Wish" where a innocent business man's pregnant wife is accidentally killed by a careless taxi driver, causing him to go on a vigilante murder spree, getting revenge on every mean taxi driver that he comes across. Now that might sound pretty ridiculous, the whole idea of doing "Death Wish" but instead of a man going after criminals, he goes after taxi drivers; but to my utter shock, the film is surprisingly very well made and acted with a lot nuance to it. The main character who goes on this vigilante crime fighting spree is actually given a fair amount of characterization and the movie really makes you feel and sympathize with him despite him doing the horrible things that he does. The film even goes out of it's way to show that he only wants to kill "mean" taxi drivers and avoids killing any whom he views as being nice or considerate. It's strange and kind of bizarre but it ends up being a really well made character drama with some solid action sprinkled in here and there. I wouldn't even really consider this an "exploitation" film, but rather a action/drama about a man who is pushed too far and tries to take the law into his own hands. It doesn't glorify the killings either like with most vigilante films; rather it shows how far our main character has fallen and that he needs help. It does have some comedic moments that alleviate the more darker moments of the film which you'd think would be tonally jarring, but the film does a good job of finding the right balance between drama, humor, action and violence. And I won't spoil anything, but the film actually does have a rather nice ending all things considered. So yeah, I went in expecting some sleezy exploitation, but instead got some genuenly good drama. The Blue-ray released by 88 films is also great. It has fantastic picture quality and comes with some lovely artwork for blue-ray case. The special edition also comes with a foldout poster that has the 88 films commissioned artwork as well as the original theatrical poster artwork on the reverse side. To top it off, it also comes with some interviews from people who worked on the film as well as an informative commentary track from film expert Frank Djeng. Overall, this is a great release and highly recommended.

    DVD Review: 1:85 Ratio aspect w/ Chinese audio and English subtitles. Also there are trailers. WHEEEE!!

    Movie Review: This movie is hyped to be an exploitation movie. It is sort of a lie because this movie is actually very well acted and the story is really good. The story is based on some stupid Chinese Taxi strike and they used this idea and turned it into a "Death Wish" type movie. I enjoyed this movie for it's violence, Anthony Wong's performance, story and so forth.

    Conclusion: 4 stars for the DVD and 4 stars for Taxi Hunter.
