    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      It is based roughly on a true case which happened in Macau.
    • Goofs
      During the family massacre scene, one of the children is decapitated, but the "head" is clearly fake. First when it drops down from the table it looks a lot bigger and doesn't have colored eyes (they have the same skin-coloring effect). And secondly when we see the whole room, the head on the floor looks almost pale-white. It's really white actually, and that's weird because the family was "slightly dark" skinned.
    • Quotes
      • [after realizing that Wong used human flesh to make the pork buns]
      • Officer Lee: I'm glad I didn't have any of those.
