Killer On Wheels (1976)

Two guys and their women constantly get harassed by a group of young motorcycle outlaws on a small island. The situation becomes deadly when one of them gets killed.WU FA WU TIAN FEI CHE DANG mixes elements of the biker with those of the terror and revenge film, accelerates them at full speed and then puts them into action with the childlike energy that wants everything at once and immediately because waiting and moderation are easy are shit. A man travels to an island with his wife and sister for a weekend trip, where they meet up with a mutual friend (Danny Lee) and deal with a bevy of fun-loving and frontal-social rockers who behave like a pack of mature wild boars with an open mind Trousers. After the usual “funny” harassment and creative verbal juries, there is an expected outbreak of violence and the inevitable female casualties. The male heroes then fight back with all their might and ensure the final escalation.

It is astonishing that this dramaturgy works so well, because there can be no question of a “slow build-up of tension”. Kuei Chih-hung went to bustle with minute one, letting the rockers fall on one of the poor protagonists right at the start and loudly chant “breast milk” before arriving on the island to devote themselves to their other hobbies: regardless of losses in plowing around in the area, flaunting around, fucking each other, pounding each other on the face, or breaking things and indulging in a sense of humor that is still described as “lingering”. The madness never ends and a scene in which the tormented townspeople are attacked with slippery sea cucumbers is only the tip of the very same iceberg. You really have to see it for yourself to believe it.
