Kidnap (1974)

A very interesting entry for director Chang Keng (THE 14 AMAZONS) and the usual Kung-Fu squad from the heydays of Shaw Brothers. Almost no Kung-Fu in this story inspired by a real fact about a gang of unprofessionals kidnappers headed by Lo Lieh (FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH), surrounded by a rich ensemble of supporting actors like Fan Mei Sheng, Tung Lin, Hu Chin and many others. Crime and Horror specialist Kuei Chi Hung would have been a better director for a dark story like this, anyway Chen Kang (who also plays the prison priest) does a good job and his stars shows thay can act well. Beauty actress Liu Wu Chi met a real-life murder mystery when she suddenly disappeared from Hong Kong in 1978 during the filming of FLYING GUILLOTINE 2, and nobody saw her since.
