# Deadly Target

Deadly Target Director: Godfrey Ho/Phillip Ko Year: 1994 Rating: 6.5 Format: In Mandarin with subs When you see that this is co-directed by Godfrey Ho and Phillip Ko, it is enough to make you flinch like you have come across a dead bloody body in your home. The two of them combined have committed their share of sins against Hong Kong cinema with their quickie action films usually set in the Philippines. Their reputation was not helped much when Tai Seng back in the day picked up a number of these cheapies and made them worse by badly dubbing and editing them and offering them to the public. And often re-titling them making things very confusing. They retitled this one Fatal Target for some reason and it was years before I realized that Deadly Target was the same film. I saw these films on VHS long ago because I bought up all those Tai Seng releases not realizing that they had likely been fiddled with and reviewed them fairly negatively. I watched two of these films just recently in their original form with subtitles and what a difference it made. It has been so long since I saw the Tai Seng versions that I have no way to compare them and those tapes are likely in a landfill in New Jersey next to Jimmy Hoffa’s body. So I am not sure if Tai Seng mauled the original or the dubbing put me off or if I have become more easily entertained but I quite enjoyed them both – this and Angel on Fire. They both suffer from the usual Ho and Ko traits – that you take for granted - dreadful…
