BREAKOUT FROM OPPRESSION
(AKA: SHA CHU CHONG WEI)(1978)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
From Hong Kong, with dubbed English! This is about
a young lady who gets out of jail and has nothing
but trouble! Someone's trying to drive her nuts,
and it appears to be working! No real suspense here
as you get to know the bad person right away! This
is a dark evil movie and the only thing that makes
it almost bearable is that a lot of the spots that
are suppose to be "terror" are almost funny! D
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai didn't just make cut-and-paste
ninja movies, they also made a number of movies with one
clear story from beginning to end. This movie is kind
of a strange one - it's never made clear where the events
of the movie are taking place, for one thing (my guess
is Taiwan.) There is also lousy dubbing as well as some
goofy situations that make for some occasional unintended
laughs. But for the most part, the movie is kind of dull
and seems to be repeating itself more or less over and
over until the action-packed climax (which has some
similarities to the climax to the American movie "Friday
the 13th"). If the rest of the movie had had the energy
of the climax, we might have had something here. But
as it is, the movie is only really for die hard fans
of Asian movies who happen to be in a silly and forgiving
mood. One last thing: While the IMDb currently claims
this movie was made in 1978, the movie's copyright
listing in the opening credits is actually for the
year 1985. - Wizard-8
