Pituitary Hunter
dir. Dan Pan, 1990.
Hong Kong. 83 min.
In Cantonese with English subtitles.
A gang of unhappily subtitled detectives follow a trail of pilfered pituitary glands across Hong Kong, uncovering a coterie of black market habitues with equally desperate claims to illicitly harvested human growth hormones. In the tradition of Category III gialli, the question of who is hoarding the glands resolves itself in the most baffling and tastless manner imaginable, but not before the audience is subjected to several displays of basement neurology and a constant barrage of non-sequiturs that will leave them disoriented and horrified for weeks to come.
