Taxi Hunter (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Product Information

However, this all comes crashing down when a pair of unsympathetic taxi drivers cause the death of Kin’s wife one night. Crippled with grief, Kin is initially despondent but finds renewed vigour when his grief is displaced by rage against the self-serving, rude taxi drivers that proliferate Hong Kong. From the description, most people would assume Taxi Hunter is the Hong Kong answer to Falling Down (1993), and they’d be right. It has a very similar structure and trajectory, but it also stands on its own merits, especially since Wong is so good. There’s a great dynamic between him and his co-star Ringo Yu that helps to drive the film. Having seen another film recently from Wong and Herman Yau, Ebola Syndrome (1996), I was expecting something a bit more brutal and mean-spirited. Instead, we’re given a very wonderful and dark character study about a man driven to violence. But are his actions justified? An interesting question and, as a whole, a very solid effort from everyone involved. RELATED: Exclusive: Director Steve Mitchell Talks ‘Wings Hauser: Working Class Actor’ Genre fans won’t be entirely disappointed though, which is why I feel a rewatch might win me over. Whilst Taxi Hunter isn’t particularly crazy or extreme, there are still some exciting set pieces and stunts (particularly the opening scene), as well as a couple of fairly brutal scenes of violence. One of the taxi driver murders, which sees Kin claim his victim using a broken bottle, stood out for me as being particularly nasty. Films brings Taxi Hunter to Blu-ray framed at 1.85.1 widescreen and in AVC encoded 1080p high definition with the feature using up 26.4GBs of space on the 50GB disc. Transfer quality is very nice. A few of the darker scenes are pretty dark due to how the film was originally lit but overall, this is a very nice improvement over the previous DVD edition. Colors are reproduced very nicely and look accurate throughout, while skin tones appear lifelike and natural. There are no visible issues with compression artifacts, edge enhancement or noise reduction problems. There’s very little actual print damage here but the film’s natural grain is preserved, resulting in a transfer with strong detail and texture.

How to Murder Your Taxi Driver? (27:06, HD) – Action director James Ha recalls being hired, similarities to Taxi Driver and Falling Down, attitudes towards cabbies at that time, the logistics of the car stunts (using his phone as a prop), working with Wong on his stunts, and the film’s sympathies towards Wong’s character.Chung is best friends with Kin, and their relationship forms the crux of the movie, as the cop goes undercover to try and catch the taxi driver killer, unaware that it is his pal who has been committing the crimes. Neither party excludes or limits its liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for wilful default or fraudulent misrepresentation or otherwise in any manner unenforceable by any applicable law. 6. Termination Though like many HK Action films, there is rumor enough for not just pathos, thrills, and anger but also comedy and moments of brevity.Yau even manages a cheeky homage to Taxi Driverin the film just to ensure that everyone knows the debt that’s owed (but not really) to the Scorsese Classic.Though the most fascinating aspect is how Taxi Hunterends the salary man’s descent into violence and grief.One that again both homages Taxi Driverbut is entirely different.Any film that does that kind of high-wire act demands to be seen by any creditable film fan. The Transfer Hunts Taxis will not carry more passengers than its insurance or licensing allows. 4. Cancellations Hong Kong film maker Herman Yau's TAXI HUNTER (1993) was made at the same year as his harrowing and disturbing THE UNTOLD STORY, both starring Anthony Wong. In TAXI HUNTER, Wong plays a good-natured insurance agent who has a young wife who is pregnant. One sad night she is rudely ill-treated by a taxi driver who causes her and her unborn baby's death. This makes Anthony start his own war against the city's "bad taxi drivers" as he starts to wipe them out. It turns out that the city has a horrible amount of evil and rudely dangerous and selfish cab drivers who don't care of anything else than themselves.
