Whenever I take a look at today's big multiplex cinemasm playing nothing but dreck, I'm really happy, that, in better times, films like this one have been made: "Delirio Caldo" is a sick, a-logical and hilariously funny thriller, the nightmare of any "cineaste". There's lots of violence, psychedelic colours, stylish cinematography and enough of that naive "misogyny" prevalent in 70ies cinema to make any PC-feminists break out in tears. What else could one ask for? Be sure not to miss this treat. And, by the way, watch the continental cut, as the english-dubbed version has been shorn of nearly 20 minutes of fun!

This story of a misguided adolescent features one of the bleakest views of Hong Kong which can be found on celluloid: An urban moloch populated by slimy characters, a city without hope.

Even if you don't like martial arts, watch this movie! It has some stunning widescreen cinematography and one hell of a finale!
