A true exploitation CAT III classic. Darkly humorous while also being incredibly disturbing at points. Anthony Wong's performance is unhinged in the best way possible. While some of the special effects look like they were purchased from a party store, this isn't enough to hold this one back from being a classic.

"Bunman-The Untold Story" is one of the most horribly disturbing horror movies ever made. Anthony Wong plays a lunatic who butchers a restaurant owner and his family in Macau after a gambling argument. He takes over the restaurant and uses the family's bodies to make pork buns! "The Untold Story" is a nasty, brutal film based on a real-life facts. Anthony Wong is perfect as the psychotic Wong Chi Hang and his grotesque grin is truly bone-chilling. The violence is extremely shocking: the family slaughter scene has to be one of the most repulsive acts of violence I've ever witnessed on film. The other sequences like brutal rape and murder of his female employee or Wong's suicide attempt in jail are also pretty hard to stomach. Still "The Untold Story" is sprinkled with humour what makes it a bit easier to watch. A must-see for fans of extreme cinema.
