Plot – Spoilers:
The theme is the same as Untold Story 1 – a restaurant where human meat is served to unwitting customers. Also, Anthony Wong who played the killer last time, has flipped to the other side, and plays a cop here.
Cheung is a meek restaurant owner in Hong Kong married to the promiscuous Kuen, whose perpetual horniness is fueled by Cheung’s inability to stay hard. Or maybe it’s the other way round. In any case, help for Cheung’s dick issues arrives when his wife’s cousin, Fung, a country girl comes in from mainland China. Fung is prone to violent outbursts and she proclaims this by setting on fire a woman who was rude to her for not being HongKong-enough.
Fung soon decides she would rather own the restaurant than just work there, Cheung doesn’t mind because his dick miraculously works again, and Kuen realizes it’s hard to stay warm inside a refrigerator when the rest of your body’s missing.
Thanks as always for the films admins;)
I saw the 3rd Untold Story was just posted, reminded me to watch the 2nd. Regrettably, this film, imo, is a one and done. The acting and cinematography were alright, minimal score, but the overall film, plot-wise, and script, was thin. It held my interest moderately, but not much more.
The first will always be an all-time favorite of mine, and has been since it came out. This 2nd entry tho, not so much, bc it lost all the suspenseful and over the top qualities that made the first one what it was; special. 5/10 from me. Regrettable, due in part to the first film being such a pillar of cat. III Hong Kong horror.
Another ott film by/with the same duo as the first Untold Story (Yau/Wong) is titled Ebola Syndrome, which is epic as well, especially w the current times. I suppose u could call it another pandemic special. Thanks;)
Love movies with crazy bitches being anti-hero. Reminds me of daily life.
The English subs are poor and were burnt into the original copy.
