        10Bogey Man

        Extreme cinema

        Hin Sing 'Billy' Tang has directed many noteworthy pieces of cinema in Hong Kong. His work include Red to Kill (1994) and Dr. Lamb (1992, co-directed with Danny Lee), but I think Run and Kill (1993) is perhaps his masterpiece, at least from films he's directed completely himself. Run and Kill stars the "fatty" Kent Cheng as Cheung, a business man who has a beautiful wife and little girl. He lives peaceful life with his family and goes to work in his company everyday and is a good family father. One day after coming from work he learns his wife is cheating on him with another man, and he gets shocked very badly. He goes to the nearby bar and gets drunk big time. Soon he meets one mysterious character who starts to ask things from Cheung and recommend some things which his wife deserved.. Cheung is very drunken and he says something he'd never mean and once he gets to home after waking up in the street, he learns what's happened and what's going to happen. The incredible and frightening trip to Hell has begun and the worst is yet to come.

        Run and Kill is totally powerful experience and even more harrowing after the second viewing. The film begins as some usual Hong Kong "slapstick comedy" as Cheung plays with his daughter and does silly things as they are getting ready to go to work and school on that fateful morning. It may feel very irritating as Cheung acts so childishly as he tries to entertain his child. That's okay, since fathers play with their children and try to amuse them. The tone of the film, however, won't stay that way once the first 15 or so minutes have rolled. The film changes from light family film/comedy into a shocking cheating tragedy into a hellish quest for life after the real nature of the happenings is revealed. The beginning and ending of this extraordinary film are as different with each other as possible. The beginning is comedy, the ending is nightmare.

        The usual dark colors and cinematography of director Tang is again powerful element, and really creates the infernal mood of the film. Once the horror begins, there's hardly any sunny scenes or happy colors, but menacing dark and blue smoke and empty rooms with nothing but despair. This film is perhaps as dark as they come, even from Hong Kong. The greatest power of Run and Kill among these cinematic elements is the structure how it changes its nature so wildly and becomes such a trip to the heart of darkness after beginning very differently and lightly.

        Meet Simon Yam, the most frightening, sadistic and dangerous screen psychopath ever in any film:

        Simon Yam's character in Run and Kill is totally incredible. He plays a traumatic Vietnam veteran who is undescribably evil and wicked inside and that we unfortunately learn very soon. I'd like to tell more about how this character becomes to the film, but Run and Kill belongs to the movies that you should know as little before viewing as possible. Yam's character is equally bad and dangerous with Anthony Wong's character in Herman Yau's The Untold Story. Yam's character in Run and Kill shows its most evil sides during the film's most infamous and sadistic scene which involves the death of one young character. That scene is so harrowingly powerful and disturbing act of violence that it is hard to imagine being even more powerful on any level. It gets worse. The way how Yam acts in that scene is as frightening as the act committed itself. Yam seems not to act anymore, he seems to BE like he'd be normally, it is that realistic and convincing. His face expression and other movements during that scene are totally unimaginable and made me cringe during that scene as I fully noticed them now during second viewing. Imagine Anthony Wong's face expression during the credits of The Untold Story (as he's in the police photographs) and you have the idea how powerful Yam's acting in the scene is. The scene in Run and Kill is definitely among the most gruesome and disturbing scenes ever in any film. Is it there in vain and only to exploit? No, because it is an important element in the story and finally makes Cheung's character to become what he becomes.

        After that scene, the film has still approximately 15-20 minutes of running time and as it should be clear by now, it is total Hell and despair whole thing. The point and theme of the film is how seemingly normal and peace loving human mind may become greater evil and more wicked than he'd ever dare to think. Cheung becomes as evil as Yam at the end, and so the inner demon and wickedness in Cheung's soul has been released and is no more un-active hiding in the background of his mind. Run and Kill is extremely depressing and dark film which hasn't got too much (if any) positivism in it, and perhaps the only positive characters (who stay alive) are the police officers, led again by Danny Lee, the actor in many other police roles and the co-director of Dr. Lamb. The violence is very strong, too, and rarely have I felt so much pain to watch the mayhem on screen as every act of killing and stabbing hurts badly as it is realistic and never glorified or distorted to look harmless and an noteworthy tool to solve things. Run and Kill is very honest in this department and that's why it is so effective and challenging film experience.

        Run and Kill was almost too much and too powerful experience for me, and so this is definitely not for any casual viewer. I think many/some viewers would without a doubt simply faint during the most infamous killing scene, especially if seen in the theatre on big screen. The power of Run and Kill is so great, it can affect people so effectively as people have actually fainted during the most powerful films and run out of theatres. Especially people who have own children will definitely feel very bad during that scene as I did, too, without being a father. Run and Kill is very likely as dark and pessimistic a film as possible and the power of this film is not likely going to be beaten or even equalled and I think those who manage to do so, are also made in Hong Kong or Japan, whose film makers have freedom to do their art without following some restrictions and commercial aims.

        Run and Kill gets the full 10 rating from me as I find this so remarkable piece of the dark cinema and its message is close to me, too. This really shows how noteworthy films some of the CAT 3 films are, despite the fact that some/most (?) of them were made simply because of money and fact that these were so popular in Hong Kong back then in the early 90's. Run and Kill among The Untold Story is the greatest achievements of these CAT 3 films and they have many important things to tell and discuss, but only for the adventurous.

        Go to Hell, you bastard!

        Fatty (Kent Cheng) catches his wife (Lily Li) with another man; on their anniversary, no less. He gets drunk and hires a hit man to take care of her; only there is a slight miscommunication over what he wants.

        Now, the gang leader (Lung Wei Wang) wants $800,000 for the job they did. Lots of chop socky and blood is spilled in the attempt to collect. Rival gangs get involved and the blood flows freely.

        When Ching Fung's (Simon Yam) brother Wah (Sui Wah Fok) dies, he vows revenge on Fatty and his family. Fung tortures Fatty in the worst possible way and even kills his own partners as he goes psychotic after Fatty escapes.

        He and fatty have a fight to the death. It was magnificent.

        Excellent little shocker

        This Billy Tang vehicle is relentlessly grim and relentlessly entertaining. I love that.

        Fatty (Kent Chang) accidentally orders a hit on his wife and creates a huge debt for himself that must be repaid. Since Fatty can not repay it, others repay it instead -- with their lives.

        Watching a fat guy stress and sweat and fall in a blubbering heap is a highly entertaining experience that must be seen to be believed. The torching of a little girl by super-villain Simon Yam (in a superbly over-the-top performance) pushes the boundaries of on-screen depictions and the gloriously violent finale, where Fatty becomes an unstoppable monster, really delivers the chills.

        Danny Lee makes an appearance as -- what else? -- a cop, but he's as useful as pockets on a singlet and never manages to put so much as a dent in the gory proceedings.

        Director Tang was on a roll with this, RED TO KILL and DR. LAMB.

        This is mostly an action pic, but it also falls into the horror category simply because it doesn't know when to quit being grotesque. Love that, too.

        Not Billy Tang's best.

        You go into cat 3 films with certain expectations. You shouldn't really expect a decent storyline or any great characterisation. Basically, if you've taken the time to find one of these films, you want gore and cheesy fun! In short bursts, run and kill delivers this. Though it try's to hard to be a real film and really just ends up embarrassing itself. The story is just about Fatty (Kent Cheng) Getting drunk and accidentally recruiting somebody to have his wife killed. (she gets caught having sex with another man). As you can imagine, things go to plan. Cue lots of running around and pointless, boring scenes of woodenly acted mush of Fatty trying to hide from the mean gangsters that killed his family. The film really isn't gory enough like the untold story. I don't know about you, but I go into a cat 3 movies hoping to be grossed out and shocked. This failed miserably. Their isn't any humour either. Such as any Anthony Wong flick. It can't even be passed off as a straight up exercise in nihilism. As the actor who plays Fatty just isn't a good enough actor and isn't really able to convey strong emotions. To conclude I have to say that cat 3 films simply shouldn't try and do story and character as this just isn't what they are know for. If you want fun, gore and a generally entertaining movie just go and see Ebola Syndrome or even Dr Lamb.

        Classic Hong Kong CAT III thriller

        RUN AND KILL (1993) - When returning home from work one day, Cheung (Kent Cheng) finds his wife having sex with the local grocer. In a state of shock, Cheung walks out and ends up at a sleazy bar to drown his sorrows. Having one too many, he unintentionally hires a local gangster to kill his wife. When he comes home the following day, men attack and kill his wife and her lover, leaving him in the frame for the murders. Cheung doesn't remember hiring the men but is soon reminded when they come calling for the rest of the money.

        Fleeing his apartment, Cheung hides out at the old family home in china, only to find his old neighbour and a group of professional killers held up there. The neighbour agrees to help Cheung with his trouble back home but proves to be a fatal mistake, leading to events that are far worse than he could imagine.

        Run and Kill is a bleak and gloomy CAT III classic from the 90's starring Kent Cheng as the extremely unlucky fatty Cheung who inadvertently runs into Simon Yam's psychopathic ex war veteran character, played here with his usual great charm. I did find Kent Cheng kind of annoying at first, and Danny Lee barely even has a role in the movie but still, Run and Kill deserves it's place as one of the CAT 3 classics from this period in HK cinema. Not wanting to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but ending is worth watching the film for that scene alone, even if the dummy corpse looks more like a statue of a monkey!
