Today’s Deal on Fire is the Deluxe Blu-ray (Region B) for The Untold Story (aka Bunman), a 1993 Hong Kong film from cult director Herman Yau (Shock Wave, Ebola Syndrome) that stars Danny Lee (Run and Kill) and Anthony Wong (Still Human).
In 1978 in Hong Kong, a grisly murder takes place. Eight years later on a Macao beach, kids discover the severed hands of a fresh victim. A squadron of coarse, happy-go-lucky cops investigate and suspicion falls on Wong Chi Hang, the new owner of The Eight Immortals Restaurant famous for its delicious pork buns. The hands belong to the missing mother of the restaurant’s former owner who has disappeared along with the rest of his family. Staff at the restaurant continue to go missing but the police can’t find any hard evidence that Wong is responsible. When he can’t produce a bill of sale proving his purchase of the restaurant, Wong is arrested and the police try to torture him into a confession. Can they make him talk? And what was in those famous pork buns?
Written by and starring Danny Lee (City on Fire), Anthony Wong (Ebola Syndrome) and Directed by Herman Yau (Taxi Hunter), 88 Films is proud to release the most notorious Category 3 film ever produced in Hong Kong remastered from the Original Negative.

I’m hungry for that Blu-Ray!
My copy came today and wow if you have a weak stomach be prepared
So it obviously holds up well then! =)
I would have liked a few lobby cards for a collector’s edition, but it’s cool. Next stop: Taxi hunter!
Sad to report, unauthorised use of my ‘archive’ commentaries.
That’s not good?
I am guessing Frank just ‘donated’ them from Tai Seng, without bothering to consult/speak to you?
Ah Tau Seng, remember the good old days when they were going after Ma and Pa video stores in America, throwing their Triad weight around and claiming that them putting a Tai Seng logo on a Mei Ah DVD release meant they owned all rights around the world
