In article three of the 1956 law dealing with dangerous objects, explosives are classified as dangerous objects of the first kind. People possessing such objects are called DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIRST KIND!
Perhaps the grimmest and most nihilistic portrait of Hong Kong society to emerge from the first HK New Wave movement, Tsui Harks socio-economic avant-punk action masterpiece is like no film you will ever see again. Banned by the British colonial government immediately upon its release and forced into a state-mandated re-edit, the film has become a cult classic, and an important entry in the history of delinquent youth cinema. Spectacle is proud to present this rebellious, corrosive film in its original form.
