content

The good-natured businessman "Fatty" Cheung caught his moody wife cheating on the wedding day. Disillusioned, he then gets drunk in a bar. In the intoxication there is a momentous misunderstanding when the betrayed asks a stranger to murder his faithless wife. The person addressed, a middleman of a Vietnamese gang, has the job done immediately. Both the target person and their lover are brutally murdered in front of Fatty's eyes.

The overweight Fatty, who later cannot remember what happened in the bar, is in dire straits. As a horned husband, he is suspected by the police - in particular of Inspector Man - of two murders. The cold-blooded murderers are also demanding the outstanding payment of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars . The intimidated Fatty is insolvent, so that criminals set his shop on fire. Out of desperation, he finally flees the metropolis of millions and by chance comes across a competing Chinese criminal syndicate. Although the triad is also hostile to him, Fatty - thanks to the acquaintance of gang member Wah - finds safe accommodation. The encounter with Wah, who strives for recognition within the triad, turns out to be a stroke of luck for the fugitive. Wah tries to impress Fatty, but above all his brother Fung, and carelessly offers him help, which in the end costs him his life.

The police now find a witness who overheard Fatty's conversation with the stranger and is 100% sure that Fatty is innocent. But the warrant is not withdrawn and the wanted man is finally arrested. The investigating inspector, however, is aware of Fatty's connection to the criminal syndicate and uses him and his little daughter as a decoy for the members of this killer squad. This is how the police succeed in isolating the main culprits. But he kills Fatty's mother, so that the killer offers himself as a hostage, so that he doesn't do anything to his daughter as well. But it's no use. The girl also falls victim to the cold-blooded killer, which triggers an irrepressible rage in Fatty and turns him into a fighting machine. He faces his adversary and kills him after a long fight.

criticism

“'Run and Kill' is a somewhat less well-known CAT III film, but it doesn't need to hide behind other contributions in the genre, even if it's not nearly as sick and tough as other representatives. Director Billy Tang [...] managed to shoot a tightly staged and tough film that is action, thriller and drama in equal parts. ”It goes on to say:“ The bottom line is that we offer a CAT III thriller that is convincing across the board and can entertain. Even if the film initially takes just under 25 minutes to establish its style and find its basic tenor, the end product is not a disappointment. "

“Without a doubt, the morality of fat Mr Cheng and his unfaithful wife is one of the more blatant examples of the series of so-called Category III films, which are not known for hesitancy anyway, with which the unleashed Hong Kong cinema of the pre-Union era said goodbye to artistic freedom and censors in all World drove beads of sweat to the forehead. Images never seen before in the most memorable rampage in HK cinema history, formally impeccably packaged by Hartkeks Billy Tang. Buy, see, be amazed. ”
