Landing on the island, where Carrie's boyfriend Sze Wei welcomes them to his father's lush waterfront villa, the bikers then commence to party, carouse, and race their Yamahas on the beach. Once a few of them hassle Carrie, and Sze Wei confronts them with a harpoon gun, inevitable tensions start to boil. With any police a day or so away, vandalism and cruel pranks soon turn into violent retribution, and suddenly, far worse. Who'll remain alive when all the dust settles?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt took 1970s Shaw ingenuity to update the delinquent biker movie template into a brutal genre hybrid reinforced with a stiff dose of Straw Dogs, and director Chih-Hung Kuei (\u003cem\u003eCorpse Mania\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Boxer's Omen\u003c\/em\u003e) was just the man for the job. Boasting a broad array of action stunts, casual sleaze, and a steadily escalating level of wanton destruction, this shocker boasts a screenplay by the prolific On Szeto (\u003cem\u003eKiller Constable\u003c\/em\u003e), and stars Yun Ling (\u003cem\u003eDeath Duel\u003c\/em\u003e), Terry Liu (\u003cem\u003eThe Killer Snakes\u003c\/em\u003e), and Danny Lee (\u003cem\u003eCity on Fire\u003c\/em\u003e).
