How scary was the 1996 Hong Kong horror film "Ebola Virus"? Huang Qiusheng has a lingering fear of talking about it

"The Eight Immortals Restaurant's Pork Barbecued Pork Buns" makes people's mouths change.

In that era without internet, how many people completed their first movie viewing ceremony in the video hall. That feeling of mystery and expectation completely made people forget the harsh and dim viewing environment around them. Even if I persist for a few hours, I can still enjoy several Hong Kong and Taiwan cult works accidentally. For example, the horror film "Baxian Char Siew Buns at the Eight Immortals Restaurant" starring Huang Qiusheng in 1993 has not been released publicly in theaters, so people knew that these restricted movies were basically in the video room.

I have to say that Huang Qiusheng can be called a hallowed figure in the field of Chinese video studios. Whether watching his literary films or restricted movies, as long as you mention the name of Brother Qiu Sheng, there will always be an imperceptible expression flashing on the face of the owner of the video studio, and then he will smile...It can be said that, except in "Young and Dangerous" Huang Qiusheng, who loves to pick his nostrils, is most popular among movie fans, probably the cult ancestor-level movie "Eight Immortals Restaurant". It is said that after the release of this film, all the fast food shops on the streets of Hong Kong have been in a sluggish business. Those battles have been at odds with the "crab effect" of the stock market.

In October 1992, after TVB aired the drama "The Big Times", the Hong Kong stock market plummeted. Some people called it the "Ding Crab Effect". Ding Crab (played by Zheng Shaoqiu) is the villain in this play. The ending ended with the Ding Crab stock plummeting... However, many people do not know that it is the "Ebola Virus" that really made Huang Qiusheng famous after the "Barbecued Pork Bun". "this movie. It was this film that ended the practice of some fast-food restaurants selling only "burgers". What kind of existence is

movie "Ebola virus"?

Although the film was too large to be released publicly, and even a serious poster was hard to find on the Internet, I am very fortunate to see the true face of this restricted movie today, and it is still in an ultra-high-definition version. The plot of the film is very simple, it can be summarized into three chapters, let’s take a look at it together-

The first chapter of Hong Kong homicide

Aji (played by Huang Qiusheng) was originally a small land ruffian... Look at this name. ! The beginning of the movie is that he has an affair with the boss's woman (100 words are omitted here), but the result coincides with the boss and the younger brother coming home and bumping into it. So Ah Ji vigorously begged for mercy, and the younger brother ridiculed him, and the woman pushed the matter on Ah Ji. This boss (played by Cheng Kui'an) is also very strange. Although he is very angry, he asks Ah Ji to cut his roots and provides a pedicure knife.

A chicken stopped doing it at first glance. Isn't that a stab? How can you use a pedicure to do this kind of thing, even if you look like the father of the sea in "The Deer and Ding Tale", somehow someone gave Wei Xiaobao a sledgehammer. So Ah Ji won the pedicure knife. After killing the boss, he also broke the root of the little brother clean. I won't talk about the bloody scene here. Let's make up for it yourself. Then Ah Ji asked the woman why she didn't talk about loyalty so much, and cut her tongue out in anger.

Before leaving, Ah Ji wanted to burn the elder's daughter, but because he was run into by a neighbor, he fled to Africa in a hurry. To say that the neighbor actor didn't know where to find it, and he looked hippie without fear. If you look at it from here, it would seem like a joke. It was Huang Qiusheng who performed a metamorphosis so vividly that he had the classic to hairy stills. He held a pedicure knife with blood on his face and despised the front.

Chapter II Escape to Africa

After arriving in Africa, Ah Ji started his restaurant job. A standard waiter suit, fluent British English, plus Huang Qiusheng's unique pigtails, if not in a horror movie, he is definitely a handsome guy. Do you still remember the Qiusheng brother in the movie "Flower Street Times"? It's that fan. However, Huang Qiusheng is so weird. It is improper to play the leading actor in the literary film. He prefers to accept restricted films, and he doesn't do anything with a small scale.

get back to business. Since the African boss knew that he had come from Hong Kong to kill someone, the couple would always add insults to him, which made Ah Ji very troubled. On weekdays, Aji is also idle. In addition to processed food, his biggest hobby is to eavesdrop on the "private talk" of the boss and the couple. One day in order to buy cheap pork, the boss drove him to a grassland tribe in Africa, but he came across the ministryLanded on the "laws" for several corpses. The two of

looked closer and found that these corpses were bleeding from seven orifices, and their deaths were miserable. The boss asked the chief of the tribe where to buy pork, and the chief pointed at the corpses. They were so frightened that they were so frightened that they hurriedly said that you are always joking! ? The leader explained that in fact we can all eat, you really need pork to see there. He pointed to the dead pigs next to the corpse, bleeding from their orifices like those corpses. After

pulled the pork, the car broke down on the way back to the restaurant. A Ji helped a fainted black man with a convenient gap, but his lust regained. Suddenly the black man began to bleed and clung to Aji. In a hurry, he smashed the black man's head with a stone and ran back (120 words omitted here)... After arriving at the restaurant, Aji suddenly became physically Twitch, after a diagnosis, learned that he was infected with the rare Ebola virus by black people, and the origin of this virus is the tribe where they bought the pork.

In order not to affect the business, the proprietress ordered to kill Ah Ji. As a result, Aji had its own antibodies, not only did the Jedi fight back and kill the boss, but also the boss wife. The boss's cousin came to visit the class, and he processed a piece of meatloaf. When dealing with this plot, director Qiu Litao didn't give close-ups as extensively as in "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Buns", but instead gave Huang Qiusheng his time completely and let his acting skills be used. It can be said that Huang Qiusheng's horror plots of eating human eyes and processing meatloaf are completely shown by acting, and are not bloody and gory.

As soon as the guys went to work the next day, Ah Ji was like a okay person. He lied that the boss had returned to his hometown in Taiwan and told him to take care of the shop when he left. He also took the opportunity to launch the "Ebola Burger" and "Barbecued Pork Buns" series of packages. As you can imagine, many people who had eaten began to get sick. The scene seemed to be the end of the world... Later, the African police began to investigate the restaurant. After stealing a lot of dollars from the owner, Ah Ji changed his mind and took a flight to Hong Kong. flight.

The third chapter, the final chapter,

Aji started a life of drunkenness after returning to Hong Kong, but those who had been in contact with him soon became ill, which also attracted the attention of the Hong Kong police. During the contact with his ex-girlfriend's family, Ah Ji once yearned for a normal life. But the devil is the devil. He not only killed his ex-girlfriend, but also kidnapped her daughter. In the process of being chased by the police, he even kept spitting at passers-by, and the final result of those who vomited can be imagined.

In order not to harm the children, the police used anesthesia needles to shoot. What Chengxiang Aji used a kitchen knife to peel off the meat where he was shot, and fell on the ground and was eaten by a pet dog. In the end, it was the police (played by Yin Yangming) who used a "flamethrower" to end the chicken. However, this person did too much evil, and the angry policeman fired many shots at Ah Ji's body.

At the end of the credits, there is a little girl and a dog eating together, sitting next to an ignorant and kind old man. That dog was the one that ate the chicken...So far, the whole movie is over. This is also the only cult film in Hong Kong and Taiwan that has Easter eggs. Director Qiu Litao’s intention for this egg is very obvious. He neither stated whether the Ebola virus was cleared, nor did he admit that the virus is still there. Anyway, it is to make everyone be careful, especially public health.

Postscript: The devil is still in the world

When filming "Ebola Virus" in 1996, it coincided with the third large-scale outbreak of Ebola virus, which was mainly concentrated in the Philippines, Texas, and Tuscany in Italy. The virus, also known as Ebola, is derived from the name of a river in the Congo. It is the collective name for viruses of the genus Ebola virus of the cellulovirus family. The first eruption occurred in 1976, the second eruption in 1979, and then reappeared after fifteen years after mysterious disappearance.

Ebola virus has a biosafety level of 4, and its risk factor is much higher than SARS. It can be transmitted only through the air. The Ramanra virus mentioned in Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" is Ebola. In 1992, Shoko Asahara, the leader of the Aum Shinrikyo sect of Japan, led 40 members to the Congo, hoping to obtain the virus as a tool for the massacre, but ultimately failed.

has reported that the virus still exists in Africa, the United States, the Philippines and other places. Although Ebola virus patients have long been curedThe news broke, but it should be noted that the virus has been producing new variants since the late 1970s, and the mortality rate has also changed from the initial 88% to 90%. Therefore, for safety reasons, everyone is using overseas mail, especially In the United States, the Philippines and other regions, it is best to avoid or buy domestic products.
