LAO MAO

Dir. Ngai Choi Lam, 1992.
Hong Kong, 89 min.

From director Lam Ngai Kai (RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY), comes LAO MAO (THE CAT), a film with a magical mix of science fiction, horror, comedy and action. Wisely, the Indiana Jones of Hong Kong, discovers three aliens (one of which is a cat) whose mission on Earth is to destroy the 'star-killer', a gelatinous blob who has the ability to reanimate its human victims. Will the old man, his young companion, and her cat get enough 'octagons' to destroy their enemy, and return to their former glitter selves? A combination of HAUSU, THE THING, and THE BLOB, this film is full of crazy. Crazy plot, crazy special effects, crazy action, crazy sound effects that might make you gag, crazy exploding people and monsters, and a crazy dog/cat fight that is the end all in the battle of cat vs. dog.
