A perfect example of HK III gore. Naturally those kind of flicks mostly have some kind of humor in it that Western people don't understand but The Untold Story luckily has a lot to offer. But be sure to have the full uncut release because there are a lot of copies that are cut. Looks that it somehow is in the public domain because most versions you can buy are mostly VHS rips.
Nevertheless, it is still worth picking up. There are a few scene's that aren't for the squeamish. The killing of children is still hard to watch. But I was also surprised that it even had some full frontal nudity in a rape scene. Mostly genitals are blurred in Eastern flicks but not here. The killer really looked convincing. The acting by Anthony Wong Chau-Sang who plays the killer is sublime. On the other hand does this flick shows how prisoners are treated in prison. Clearly to see that human rights doesn't count.
The scene's with the cops do have a few comedy situations but are also the most boring parts. The first part of this flick is cruel and nasty , then we have a normal situation but once prisoned and being interrogated and confesses his crimes it turns into a gory mess of a flick. The last 20 minutes aren't for the faint-hearted.
Gorehounds will love it and finally a good HK III flick.
