Taxi Hunter | Blu-ray (88 Films)
On August 23, 2023, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region A/B) for Taxi Hunter, a 1993 cult Hong Kong thriller directed by Herman Yau (The White Storm 2: Drug Lords) and starring Anthony Wong (Still Human) and Yu Rong Guang (Fox Hunter).
Taxi Hunter follows the exploits of Kin (Anthony Wong), a spineless paper pusher who appoints himself judge, jury, and, if need be, executioner or Hong Kong cabbies after two of them cost his wife and unborn child their lives. He goes around “testing” cab drivers and killing or commending them accordingly. His brother in law, Yu Kai Chung (Yu Rong Guang), a cop, is forced to put a stop to his one-man war on negligent cabbies once he (Kin) reveals his identity by hospitalizing an undercover detective. But will he have to kill him to do so?

Where’s my Blu-Ray?
I was hoping there’d be a region A! People call Taxi Hunter HK’s version of Falling Down and that it was based on real life stories of corrupt cab drivers causing passenger’s deaths.
