In director Tun Fei Mou’s sexploitation classic, three young refugees escape China’s cruel regime for British-ruled Hong Kong, only to be captured by a sadistic human trafficker. Beaten and sexually abused, the trio must fight to get out alive. This Shaw Brothers-produced film caused controversy for its brazen sex and violence and incited debate over Mou’s intention to create a sociopolitical drama or merely an entertainingly lurid shocker.
