I hate it when people who do not understand the genre, post stupid or ludicrous comments. You cannot watch this film with a jaded "American Cinema" perception. Sure it has bad dubbing and a simplistic plot. SO what? It simply has the best fight scenes and action of any martial arts film EVER. The ending is not "sick or gross", it's a strange twist and makes the film unforgettable. The lead is tortured so mercilessly, and so unrelentingly, that by film's end, you're half expecting the brutal onslaught to be unleashed. Note carefully the manic yet precise performance as the hero fights the bad guys during the incredible final sequences. That's one bad man! So, in short, If u don't "get it", then don't watch it!
