YesAsia Editorial Description

Shaw Brothers B-movie fun doesn't get wilder or wackier than Oily Maniac, a campy horror-thriller directed by veteran exploitation master Ho Meng Hua (The Mighty Peking Man)! Hong Kong's official cop actor, Danny Lee, stars as Sheng Yung, a crippled legal assistant who receives an ancient Malay spell from righteous criminal Goo Fung. Upon performing the necessary rites - and covering himself in oil - Yung is transformed into a slimy oil creature with superhuman strength and a dark, menacing disposition! With his newfound shape-shifting and gloop-spreading powers, Yung dispenses righteous justice as only he can - Oily Maniac-style! But will a vat of oil always be available when Sheng Yung needs to transform? Hilariously cheesy special effects help raise Oily Maniac beyond schlock level into an entertainingly trashy camp classic. Ho Meng Hua's standard lurid exploitation elements and over-the-top evil bad guys complete the picture. Oily Maniac is a cheesy B-grade flick that's sure to delight fans of trashy drive-in cinema!

Best oil slick monster EVER Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Look at the monster on the cover of the DVD. Does that monster look cool to you? If it does, then you'll get the wackiest, Saturday morning cartoonish revenge monster movie going. I loved the absurd rubber suit, his glowing eyes, his dissolving into oil and seeping around. Cartoonish characters and a nutty monster combine for one of my favorite Shaw titles yet.

Ok so-so lah Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
Can't really expect too much of special effects from a HK production in the 70s era. Storyline is quite poor though. But I did enjoyed some of the "oily maniac" scenes. Lily Li really looked fresh as compared to now. Oh by the way I watched got the Malaysian DVD version so I got to see all the "nude" scenes but frankly speaking not that many.

cheesy special effects Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
I bought this movie primarily to watch a young Danny Lee. He does not disappoint. Lily Li and Chen Ping are good in their roles too but Chen Ping's sex scenes are censored. I wonder why Celestial released a censored version again.
The special effects are not good.

Oily Manic Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Not really a horror movie ! The "Oily Manic" creature is too artifical. Also, there are a few cuts in this show , but will not distort the whole plot. Overall, it is still worthy watching especially for Danny Lee.
