Product Information
導演：張徹/ 桂治洪
Director: Chang Cheh/ Kuei Chih-hung
青年沈昌（王鍾）生長於問題家庭，幸有女工黃蘭（李麗麗）可以談來。由於對社會不滿，又受不住黑社會色慾引誘，沈竟和黑社會中人合作，偷去父親（盧迪）看管的貨倉鎖匙。
沈父雖撞破貨倉爆竊一事，然而寡難敵眾，慘遭打死。昌悲交集，獨闖賊巢，逐一將之打死，最後自己也墮樓慘死。
Legendary "heroic brother" movie Chang Cheh teams up the quintessential fight director Liu Chia-liang (a.k.a. Lau Kar Leung) to bring their brand of artistic yet violent nihiliam to contemporary Hong Kong in The Delinquent. It's about non-caring man Shen Chang that only cares for a woman he works with and what he'll do to protect her.
Shen is merely a modern version of Chang's vision of the dutiful yet lone swordsman who travels the countryside waiting to die in selfless honor.
* Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1

Professional Review of "The Delinquent"
|
This hard-hitting slab of mondo-70's outrageousness generates torrents of violence just like its main character generates rainstorms of sweat and blood from his lithe torso as he cracks his knuckles on the faces of street slime at Mach 2. From the credits sequence of lead actor, Wong Chung, crashing through wooden walls while bathed in noxious primary-colored lighting; to the final scene where bloody meat meets concrete, this movie is a hell-bent-for-leather social justice kung fu flick that cranks the intensity to the limit with every trick in the 70s cinematographic arsenal: whip pans, smash zooms, freeze frames, superduper long shots, and telefoto lenses picking out fights from two blocks away. It's futurist cinema meets the Thing from Another World. John Tung (Wong Chun) is a young man, quivering with rage, who can't get ahead in a fixed world that's rigged to keep down the poor people and protect the Man. His broken down dad is a martial arts master reduced to working as a warehouse night watchman, and his mom is off with her new husband all the time. John falls in with street thugs who harness his fighting skills to drive their gang to the top, but the key to success is a raid on his dads warehouse and when things take a tragic turn, the movie suddenly heaves itself up into a typhoon of righteous fury with bloody, gale-force action. The action comes courtesy of Lau Kar-leung and it's some of the most vicious stuff this master of mayhem ever put onscreen as these denim-clad thugs engage in ruthless street fighting all over the baking Hong Kong streets. Kuei Chi-hungs direction (Chang Cheh had very little to do with this film, lending his name as a co-director so that his friend Kuei could catch a break) is locked and loaded with social outrage at the injustices of the world. This is the kind of flick that'll slap the condescending smile right off your face, and then keep on slapping. By Grady Hendrix |

Whenever I give a movie a bad review on this website, I return to it in a few weeks or months to see if I react to it differently. Usually, I remain unimpressed. So it was with not much optimism that I returned to "The Delinquent". However, this time this tawdry fightfest clicked with me. I will make no claims to greatness for this cheap, low-budget grindhouse flick. It features a bare-bones, simplistic story, atrocious overacting, continuity problems, and, yes, really tasteless 1970s threads. Nonetheless, upon my return visit to this pulpy patch of mayhem, I was thoroughly entertained. What captured my attention this time was the sheer visual/visceral energy of the movie. The story hurtles along like a speeding train with no brakes, heedlessly laying waste to dozens upon dozens of cheap thugs until it reaches its Shakespearean conclusion. (Apologies to Willie Shakespeare, who never conceived anything quite as low-browed as "The Delinquent".) Call it a guilty pleasure. Call it flat-out fun. Upon a second look, I can recommend "The Delinquent" to all fans of overheated, amoral ultraviolence. |

What do you get when you combine atrocious overacting, far-fetched scenes, bad fight choreography, and tragic 70s-style wardrobe choices? You get "The Delinquent." What the heck was Chang Cheh thinking? Permit me to speculate. I suspect that the filmmakers never made up their minds whether they wanted to produce a work of gritty realism or a comic book-style action flick. They ended up with a muddle. There actually is a decent story to be told here, but it gets slaughtered by the ham-handed execution of this amateurish mess. I'll give "The Delinquent" a couple stars for groovy psychedelic cinematography. |

| This film follows the life of a teenaged tough who can't please his father and can't hold a job. The only thing he has going for him is the ability to fight. A crime boss takes notice of this and offers the youth a chance to gain money, women, and respect. The youth accepts the offer only to find out that it involves robbing the warehouse where his father works as a security guard. Will he go through with it? Will his new boss take no for an answer? Find out as you watch THE DELINQUENT! This movie is a little dated in look (the fashinoable clothing is definitely from the 70s) and style (there's a real feel of The Big Boss style of kung fu, not that this is necessarily a bad thing) and is leisurely paced with a fair amount of melodrama (again, depending on your taste, not necessarily a bad thing), but the actors portraying the lead character and his father do a magnificent job in creating audience empathy (and they can FIGHT too). |
