Feel like I would have enjoyed this more if it wasn’t an awful rip from yt, but you gotta do what you gotta do! The poster might be one of the best of all time!

Only Hong Kong could make a martial arts cannibal comedy and have it work.👌

There is really nothing like seeing movies like this one in a cinema full of people!
My one pervious viewing of this film was on a bootleg VHS tape (possibly not even subtitled?) back in the mid '80s. It was one of my first (though not the first) HK films I saw and even since then it has forever been known, slightly inaccurately as it happens, as the 'roller-skating monks vs cannibals' movie. The fact that it turns out that the roller-skaters aren't monks in no way diminishes how much fun it is.
Rewatching it all these years later, it is true that there is some social, and even some political, commentary in there but the thing that's perhaps more noteworthy is that this is actually a horror film with comedy that does not drift too far one way or the other. Sure some of the jokes are, um, not good and yes, some of the gore is actually rather more extreme than some people might want, but it manages to walk the tightrope between 'horror with quips' and 'laughs with occasional violence.'
It's not a great film -- the story is sort of all over the place and there are too many characters (several of whom get rather too much screen time) -- but for an early HK film it's a great intro and I f you are already an old hand, there's still a lot of entertainment value.
