Having seen another film recently from Wong and Herman Yau, Ebola Syndrome (1996), I was expecting something a bit more brutal and mean-spirited. Instead, we’re given a very wonderful and dark character study about a man driven to violence. But are his actions justified? An interesting question and, as a whole, a very solid effort from everyone involved. RELATED: Exclusive: Director Steve Mitchell Talks ‘Wings Hauser: Working Class Actor’

This more grounded approach isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but there’s somewhat of a melodramatic style to it all (aided by a terribly overbaked score) and an abundance of goofy comedy to keep it from feeling what you might call ‘naturalistic’. Screenwriter and producer Tony Leung Hung-wah speaks for almost 29 minutes about his experiences making Taxi Hunter. He talks about how he, Yau and Wong thought very fondly of the film and how they thought it could win awards. The latter did win best actor at that year’s Hong Kong Film Awards but for The Untold Story instead. Reportedly, they were all disappointed, as they felt Taxi Hunter was the better film. It’s my favourite of the three interviews, seeing Hung-wah talk with honesty and enthusiasm.

Hunting for Words (1080i; 00:28:45) – An interview with scriptwriter and producer Tony Leung Hung-wah Chung is best friends with Kin, and their relationship forms the crux of the movie, as the cop goes undercover to try and catch the taxi driver killer, unaware that it is his pal who has been committing the crimes. In his 18-minute interview, Anthony Wong talks about his life and career, and Taxi Hunter, of course. He has some amusing answers, even if he seems a little uncomfortable in places. I particularly enjoyed hearing how he got into acting by accident, because he joined the TVB actor training course just to support a friend who was nervous about doing so himself. I didn’t receive a copy of the booklet or any other physical extras to comment on those. Once again, a shout-out must go to Sean Longmore for his fantastic artwork though.

From the description, most people would assume Taxi Hunter is the Hong Kong answer to Falling Down (1993), and they’d be right. It has a very similar structure and trajectory, but it also stands on its own merits, especially since Wong is so good. There’s a great dynamic between him and his co-star Ringo Yu that helps to drive the film. How to Murder Your Taxi Driver? (27:06, HD) – Action director James Ha recalls being hired, similarities to Taxi Driver and Falling Down, attitudes towards cabbies at that time, the logistics of the car stunts (using his phone as a prop), working with Wong on his stunts, and the film’s sympathies towards Wong’s character. The original Cantonese mono mix is included in LPCM 2.0. There is some audible clipping, but it provides a generally acceptable amount of clarity and dynamics. The Supplements Genre fans won’t be entirely disappointed though, which is why I feel a rewatch might win me over. Whilst Taxi Hunter isn’t particularly crazy or extreme, there are still some exciting set pieces and stunts (particularly the opening scene), as well as a couple of fairly brutal scenes of violence. One of the taxi driver murders, which sees Kin claim his victim using a broken bottle, stood out for me as being particularly nasty.

Book Your Cab

So, whilst its unusual blend of violence, melodrama and comedy doesn’t always hit the mark, you’re kept on board Taxi Hunter through the firm anchor of Anthony Wong’s performance and a brave spin on where your sympathies should lie.
