Taxi Hunter (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Wong plays a meek insurance worker name Ah-Kin who, on the way home from work to see his pregnant wife, gets into a small fender bender with a cab driver. Rather than settle the problem honestly, the cabbie calls over a pair of his friends and they milk the poor guy out of five grand. He gets home late and spends some time with his wife, marveling over how they'll be parents soon enough. This brief moment of bliss is soon spoiled when Ah-kin's wife goes into labor. They don't have a car and so he calls a cab. The first one shows up but is soon co-opted by someone willing to pay more, and when a second one shows up, he refuses to let them in because his wife is bleeding. As he takes off, her dress gets caught in the door and she's dragged down the street to her death. 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. 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. Taxi Hunter" is a 1993 Hong Kong crime thriller directed by Herman Yau. A welcomed film that lives within the same contextual bubble as "The Untold Story" (1993) and "Ebola Syndrome" (1996), "Taxi Hunter is a collaborative build with Yau as the director and the enduringly insane Anthony Wong as central lead. Loving the insanity that comes with "Untold" and "Ebola", I personally couldn't wait to get my hands on "Taxi Hunter", which also shares the CAT III identified build that has such a cult following that makes you want to continually watch more and more. As a film created within the same year as "Untold Story", "Taxi Hunter has some similarities as "Untold" but it fully runs at a different speed that, to a degree, that people should be aware of.

Cancellations I didn’t receive a copy of the booklet or any other physical extras to comment on those. Once again, a shout-out must go to Sean Longmore for his fantastic artwork though. 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. Local, Airports, Stations, Hospitals, Theatres and Long distance Taxi service, We do all kind of journeys.

So, whilst its unusual blend of violence, melodrama and comedy doesn’t always hit the mark, you’re kept on board Taxi Hunter through the firm anchor of Anthony Wong’s performance and a brave spin on where your sympathies should lie.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. The Girl at the Clothing Shop Who Laughed at Me When I Hit My Head on Their Low Hanging Light Fitting Hunter? The film is like a Hong Kong variation of Hollywood's FALLING DOWN (1993), starring Michael Douglas and directed by Joel Schumacher. Wong becomes a criminal and still he is very sympathetic person and depicted as a good citizen and human being, and he even lets couple of drivers go alive because he thinks "they're good" and thus don't deserve to die. He is determined to kill all the bad drivers off and all he has as a motivation is just revenge and hate and he doesn't realize (until perhaps the end) that what he does, is very wrong and unlawful, too. The film can be seen as a warning example of what might happen, and this film was also based on real events in Hong Kong and their taxi drivers. The ending is distantly similar to THE UNTOLD STORY even though it is much "safer" and doesn't end unhappily. Still it shows harrowingly how community may turn into a beast and avenging brute as suddenly as the original criminal did, and if Yau had wanted to, he could have done this film as merciless and powerful as STORY. But this is much more optimistic and nicer film and that way it is meant to be, too.
