Movie Reviews of Ebola Syndrome
Movie Review: Avoid the Pork Buns!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Because Herman Yau & Anthony Wong are at it again!!!!
The team responsible for "The Untold Story" are back in the kitchen.
And this time, they're cooking up human pork buns in South Africa.
The only difference is these Pork Buns are chock full of the Ebola Virus!!!
Pretty much the same premise as "The Untold Story"
but without the police investigation angle, and twice the mayhem.
While "The Untold Story" was a more frightening, more believable story,
Ebola Syndrome is much more fun.
It has twice the amount of depravities as "Untold Story"
though they're not as viscious.
That was until I discovered that 99% of the deleted scenes were extended gore scenes. (Much like The Untold Story, the actual violence tends to take place offscreen)
I was a little upset to say the least.
You still get to see all the carnage taking place onscreen,
which is grotesquely beatiful
dont't get me wrong,
but the camera doesn't dwell nearly as long as it should,
which you'll see quite clearly in the deleted scenes.
Each gore scene was supposed to be a a few seconds longer.
In fact,
one scene involving a chewed eye-ball was missing entirely.
So in all honesty you might want to find a different version.
(if there is one, which I'm pretty sure there isn't)
Despite the fact that this version is alledgedly unrated.
SYNOPSIS:(With almost no spoilers)
Kai gets caught in the act with his boss's wife.
His boss, furious, beats Kai about the apartment,
This confrontation ends in a triple homicide,
with their daughter as the only witness.
12 years later, Kai is working in a kitchen in South Africa,
for a frugal businesman, who, to save a little money,
decides to buy his pork from an african tribe infected with the Ebola Virus.
During their excursion Kai becomes infected, but as it turns out,
he's one of 10 million who are immune to the virus,
which makes him a carrier.
Which means anyone coming in contact with any of his bodily fluid is infected.
When they return to work, ownership of the restaurant, violently changes hands.
And the previous owners are now on the menu.
But someone recognizes Kai
remembers him from Hong Kong,
remembers what he did.
Half the movie is spoken in Chinese,
& the other half is spoken in bad english,
Which makes for quite an unintentionally hilarious combination.
It's painfully obvious that the director doesn't speak english.
Because every actor not speaking chinese, was just downright awful,
pure cardboard, like they were reading lines off an intelligible cue-card.
Their acting, to say the least, seemed out of place.
Anthony Wong however was great, in a gross kind of way.
The Depravities include:
- a severed tongue,
- ebola rape
- decapitaion
- mutilation
- cannibalism
- toothpicks to the eye
- facial urination
- porkchop masturbation
- chewed eye-ball
- child murder
etc, etc.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
If you can't beat 'em.........
cut 'em up, and turn 'em into pork-buns.
