If you want to broaden your knowledge of world cinema and its history, this is something which you should find fascinating. The breadth of interviews and the number of films and timescale covered by the documentary makes it something which should interest anyone who wants to improve their understanding of filmmaking in Hong Kong, exploitation, transgression and extreme cinema.
I could have made a sizeable list of films I want to watch and wish 88 Films would add to their 88 Asia collection (some have already been released) while watching it, but didn't because I wanted to concentrate on the documentary and not be sidetracked by compiling a wishlist!
