Back in the day when I was renting a ton of Honk Kong films from a laserdisc store (if that doesn’t date this), anytime you came across a Category III movie, you knew you were in for something intense, whether it be nudity, gore, or just the subject matter. But I was not expecting what I got when I rented The Untold Story. It starred Anthony Wong, who I just loved from action flicks like Hard-Boiled (1992), to Full Contact (1992), to The Heroic Trio (1993), to even more tragic stories like Taxi Hunter (1993), so I knew I was going to be in for another great performance.

Even more amazing is that Wong took home a Best Actor Award in Hong Kong for his role in this movie!

Now, thanks to the fine folks over at Unearthed Films, not only will this film be available here in the states for the first time on Blu-ray in its restored version, but it has a ton of extras included, which are listed below.
