Dennis Harvey 48 Hills This Golden Harvest production is nuts in the best possible way. Jan 27, 2022 Full Review Steve Biodrowski ESplatter This haphazrd combo of horror, sci-fi, mystery, and action is such a botch that even hardcore Hong Kong film fanatics may have trouble sitting through it.

J L The definitive "so bad its good" movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Egy az űrbÅ'l jött furcsa trió egy rejtà (C)lyes nyolcszög alakú tárgyà (C)rt à (C)rkezik a Földre, hogy annak segítsà (C)gà (C)vel elpusztítsa ellensà (C)gà (C)t. Van köztà 1/4k kà (C)t jó, Siu-Ming Lau a tà (C)r hercegnÅ' à (C)s egy szupermacska à (C)s egy gonosz, aki az emberisà (C)g vesztà (C)t akarja à (C)s aki bármilyen alakot magára tud ölteni. Az űrmacska à (C)s barátai ráadásul kà (C)nytelenek szembenà (C)zni a földi törvà (C)ny Å'reivel, akik egy hatalmas kutyával próbálják a harci cicót ártalmatlanítani. Bár a film 1992-s à (C)n eskà 1/4dni mertem volna rá, hogy a 80-s à (C)vekben kà (C)szà 1/4lt. Ez az egà (C)sz sci-fi, horror, vígjátà (C)k kombináció akkor pörgött maximális fordulatszámon Amerikában. De ez nem Amerika hanem Hong Kong à (C)s úgy látszik Ngai Kai Lam csak egy kis fáziskà (C)sà (C)ssel tudta tetÅ' alá hozni ezt a filmjà (C)t. Jobb kà (C)sÅ'n, mint soha, mert bizony a La mao nà (C)lkà 1/4l bizony sokkal szegà (C)nyebb lenne a horrorkomà (C)diák vaskos kis gyűjtemà (C)nye. 82 perc folyamatos poà (C)náradat, olyan jelenetekkel amiben a repà 1/4lÅ' macska nyakörvà (C)vel fojtogatja a kutyát vagy egy blob szerű thing a totális pusztításba kezd a város közepà (C)n. Trash à (C)s Inframan rajongóknak kötelezÅ' darab. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing Special about this movie, Asian Sci Fi is what I would call it, Might keep the interest of someone between the ages of 10-15. A Space Cat comes to Earth to chase away thr evil Monster from outer Space. There is a dog and cat fight in the movie that makes this movie worth watching, Also the Cat has 2 Human Type Friends, a very beautiful girl and a Old Man, Its slow in parts, good subtitles. 3 Stars Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the best of the movies involving the Wisely character, but still a lot of fun. Kuo Chui is hysterical as an alien-possessed dreadnaught, as is the equally unstoppable kitty cat. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member More sci-fi than gory horror, I was pleasantly surprised to find this movie as I've recently been disappointed in several asian horror movies I keep hearing about. This one, being from Hong Kong, had more of a typical B-movie feel to it, rather than typical Japanese ghost stories with a social message. Here you have strange people who are trying to destroy an evil force that is mutilating people in its way. The cat they're with turns out to be much more than just a housecat, and is needed to potentially save this world. The gore is really great, top-notch old school effects. The DVD suffers from a bad english translation in some parts...but not too debilitating. Of course, there's the famous (in scifi and horror circles) fight scene between the dog and cat. I have NEVER seen such choreography for a scene that involves real animals, inter-spliced with puppets and prosthetics. It was worth the rental alone. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is just so damn creative and insane. It features a fight that ranks right up there with ‘They Live’ the only difference being its between a cat and a dog. Although not quite as great as Riki-Oh its another amazing film by Ngai Kai Lam that is a great blend of sci-fi horror that really reminded me of Carpenter.
