The Untold Story

In 1978 in Hong Kong, a grisly murder takes place. Eight years later, on a Macao beach, kids discover the severed hands of a fresh victim. A squadron of coarse, happy-go-lucky cops investigate, and suspicion falls on Wong Chi Hang, the new owner of Eight Immortals Restaurant, which serves delicious pork bao. The hands belong to the missing mother of the restaurant's former owner; he and his family have disappeared; staff at the restaurant continue to go missing; and, Wong can't produce a signed bill of the sale: but there's no evidence. The police arrest Wong and try to torture him into a confession. Can they make him talk? And what was in those pork bao? - Based on a true story.

    you have been warned

    I have seen some gruesome horror films in my time, but nothing or no one could have prepared me for the violence in this film. The main performance of the killer is superb and very creepy, but the most bizarre aspect is the comedic nay dare i say slapstick shennanigins of the police officers who are investigaing the horrific crimes. Maybe Asian humour is a required taste but I for one didn't understand why this film needed comedy elements added to it. It still is (minus the bad comedy & sexist jokes) a horrific little film made even more disturbing when you realise that it's based on real events.
