Interesting view of HK's underworld of unsavory characters is marred by mass-slayings, violence, graphic brutality/ torture, and R-rated dialogue. Walkie Pi, a hoodlum striving to be the most feared man in the Red Light District of Portland Street, commits a murder and flees to Holland. Beautiful/ bright Tung Yen, girlfriend of Walkie since she was 15, impresses wealthy Yi Sen Man ("Playboy"), owner of Number One Nightclub. She displaces Karen as Playboy's favorite and becomes the club's manager. Ming Ming is Tung Yen's close friend. Min is Yen's mother; Robert is Min's boyfriend as well as her pimp. Walkie's inevitable return creates a dilemma for Tung Yen. Faint white subtitles in Mandarin as well as in English.
