The film opens with cabby Chau (Phillip Ko Fei) accidentally plowing over an old man while driving the night streets of Hong Kong. When he runs out to check on the victim, there's no one there. When he returns to his taxi, the same old geezer is parked in his back seat. The guy claims to be a wizard and warns Chau that he is heading for tragedy. Meanwhile, rich playboy Anthony Fang (Norman Tsui Siu-keung) is shagging Chau's beautiful casino dealer wife Irene. When they have an argument in countryside -- Fang refuses to leave his wife for her -- the womanizer abandons her in the middle of nowhere. Soon Irene is running from a pair of redneck rapists until she falls to her death in an old house. Chau wants revenge. With the help of the wizard, Irene's would-be rapists meet a gruesome end and Fang soon gets his just deserts as well. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
