Dangerous Encounters is punk-rock cinema through and through. Now when I say "punk-rock," I don't mean the trendy fashion; you won't find any lose hanging suspenders, towering mohawks, Doc Martins, or spiked bracelets here. When I say "punk-rock," I am talking about the bona fide ethos, the "I don't give a damn about anything or anyone" attitude embraced by the film's narrative and director. Dangerous Encounters is one of Hong Kong's most infamous films. It was the victim of government censorship because of its political content not its strong violence, both at home and abroad, and is considered by many admirers to be one of the most nihilistic films ever made. Number 67 of top 100 Movies from China.
 
 Three reckless teens go out for a joyride... no spoilers!


 Tsui Hark, legendary Producer and director, created with his first film nothing less than a MASTERPIECE. Gritty, cruel and in a immense tempo he shows a degenerate Hong Kong where four youngsters and even more bad caucasian villains come toghether for a bunch of dollars. Not many movies have deconstructed the condition of the human existance in a corrupted world of capitalism  stronger than "Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind".
KINO ANDERS 5 of 5 STARS, STRONG VIOLENCE!!! 

22h: Hong Kong 1983, 103min, english subs

 

 

When the movie begins, a Chinese boxer gets his ass handed to him by his opponent (played by Bolo Yeung of Enter The Dragon) and winds up laying in a hospital bed, unable to see. He asks his brother, Chan Hung, to travel to Thailand and get revenge for what happened to him. Along the way, he's summoned to a Buddhist temple where his life becomes intertwined with that of a dead monk.

This movie freakin' rules. Words can barely describe the awesomeness of this film. Totally unique, like nothing you've ever seen before. Some people says it's weirder than EL TOPO. 
 KINO ANDERS tells you NOT MISS THIS!!!
 

Produced by the legendary Shaw Brothers the movie stars martial arts masters Bolo Yeung (Enter the Dragon, 5 Fingers of Death, Heroic Ones and Lung Wei Wang (Invincible Pole Fighter, Master of the Flying Guillotine).
