Never Say Regret is one of those edgy, dark and twisted films that came about in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.

Starring the amazing Yukari Oshima as a Japanese girl wrongfully accused, we are given a few small fight scuffles in the first 45 minutes due to the twisted drama of what goes down in the mainland prison... And with the late, great, Big Silly Head (Shing Fui On) as the prison warden, you can only imagine how nice it is for her!

While in prison, she meets a friend played by Kara Hui (the one and only) who sticks more to the drama than the action in this one.

Meanwhile, a team of men in the form of legends Eddie Ko, Dick Wei and the handsome Max Mok, set out to rescue her. This is where the action all kicks off, directed by Yuen Bun, and we are treated to some fantastic and bloody fight scenes that keep the film treading in the Cat 3 side of things.

Never Say Regret is not perfect, but it is damn good and well worth seeing for fans of the Osh and Hong Kong cinema!

Cantonese cinema from Hong Kong is globally recognized for its action films, martial arts epics, and romantic melodramas. Its innovation in choreography, editing, and atmosphere continues to set new standards for genre filmmaking.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
