Hong Kong citizens tackle invaders from another world posing as humans and distributing lethal drugs.  The Wicked City is a 1992 science fiction film directed by Peter Mak and produced by Tsui Hark (徐克). It is a live-action film adaptation of the Japanese anime of the same name, which in turn is based on the first novel of the series of the same name by Hideyuki Kikuchi. The film stars Jacky Cheung Hok-yau (張學友), Leon Lai Ming (黎明), Yuen Woo-ping (袁和平), Roy Cheung Yiu-yeung (張耀揚), Tatsuya Nakadai (仲代 達矢), Michelle Reis (李嘉欣), and Carman Lee Yeuk-tung (李若彤).   Michelle Reis said that Tsui Hark actually directed many scenes himself.  It tells fictional story of conflicts and relationship between demon-like creatures and humans in 1990s' Hong Kong. The film was one of the most popular Tsui Hark productions in the USA and Europe, and still plays in festivals and midnight screenings around the USA and Europe.

and I won't complain if you give me a tip.

I'll go take a shower first.

I still have to catch the late flight to Hong Kong.

00:02:08If you want a quicky,

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

25

26

Why are you still dressed?

I forget...I'm not in the habit of showering first.

00:02:43It looks to me like you're thirsty.

00:02:49Perrier, the more I drink,

You're not Perrier!

You're the kind of man who isn't interested in sex.

Come out!

Here I come again! Honey!

Give it to me. I want you!

You're out of bullets.

Let me do it!

Kento meet me in Hong Kong.

00:04:20Fortunately I came to Tokyo.

00:04:32OUR WICKED CITY

00:04:49My name is Taki...

00:04:51and this guy who came

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

57

as a cover up.

My identity is a salesman of household appliances.

00:05:05Ken is the Fook Kwong company's

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

transferred me back here...

they said it was for some kind of mission.

I felt some strange vibes.

Just off the plane?

The manager's waiting for you two.

Sergent!

It's been 3 years. Do you still smoke cigars?

You still remember?

You don't have that habit!

See if the sample of goods is ready!

Yes

How come the rapters in Tokyo knew of my whereabouts?

00:05:43The Hong Kong branch's administration's

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

75

lots of good men to England.

My pressures as manager are great.

That's why I had you transferred back here.

Do you like watching "Rocky"?

I'm only interested in women.

Women! You can always look at women.

Changing your taste can be very exciting.

Open it up.

Yes!

Why is it so hot?

It's maintained this temperature for 2 days.

It's still smoking?

Which microwave oven is the barbecue smell coming from?

00:06:45So he's the boxer.

00:06:57We found these drugs in his locker.

00:07:00This has been evaporating from inside his body.

00:07:03According to a lead from Thailand...

00:07:04it has something to do with the rapters.

00:07:06It's a pretty drug.

00:07:07This drug's called "Happiness".

00:07:09It makes one's physical strength

lit up metropolis.

It's always been used by many as a place of transit.

00:07:51In 1997, Hong Kong will be given back to China.

00:07:53That will be the easiest time

have been leaking out lately.

I think someone here has been selling them.

So you must work alone.

There's no way you can use Ken.

What if I insisted?

You can't insist on something when you have no choice.

00:09:28One more

00:09:28- Me too

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

133

in large quantity...

it will help us gather intelligence on the rapters.

00:09:51Congratulations!

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

I gave the new product to Ken.

I'm going now.

Ken

But I've always admired you.

Thanks! Everyone tells me that when they get promoted.

00:10:27I just...

00:10:29I know, you want to say time

- Yes! Calm!

I should be calm.

You know I really worry about you.

I'm afraid you will...

turn into a rapter!

Even you suspect me?

Why did I even stick around?

My secret will get out sooner or later!

Ken!

I have a secret too.

I met a rapter once.

It was pouring down rain that night.

I was sent to catch a rapter.

But I never would have guessed...

I'd back down on my assignment!

I know you're a rapter!

I've been ordered to arrest you.

You're lucky to have found me.

But unfortunately...

You have to kill me!

My badge!

I can't arrest you! Get out of here!

Get away!

Your badge.

Is your name Taki?

Who'd believe a rapter would help an agent.

What are you doing?

I won't hurt you.

Are you here to save me?

Is that funny?

Even though I'm a rapter...

the rapters still want to hunt me down and kill me.

00:16:42I'm tired of us slaughtering each other.

00:16:45In the rapter world,

00:16:48I heard humans were good natured.

00:16:51Give me a chance!

00:17:00That chance turned us into close friends.

00:17:04She helped me solve cases as my informant.

00:17:07Our feelings for each other kept growing.

00:17:12That's why I had to leave her.

00:17:14You were afraid the bureau would find out?

00:17:16I was afraid I'd fall

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

224

225

- This way.

A musician with no instrument?

I play the piano.

- Go on up! - Thank you.

00:18:42Happy birthday, Daishu.

00:18:44No pictures! Get those reporters out of here.

00:18:51Get out of here!

00:18:54Happy birthday to you, Daishu.

00:19:13Daishu, go to the 12th floor conference room.

00:19:15They're all waiting for you there.

00:20:27There are undercover agents

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

their economic system.

Man's weakness is in his economy.

Even if our identity's disclosed...

they'll have to think carefully.

If they lose the support of my enterprise...

their economy will fall apart.

Thereforenegotiate with them.

00:21:41I stress that we must get

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

269

270

271

able to swallow something.

No...No!

Come out! I didn't fire the gun.

You needn't let me see you.

Get away!

Windy?!

Taki?!

Who did you come to get this time?

I came for Daishu.

Your identity's been exposed.

Get out of here!

3 years ago

You keep hiding and hide to a place so I couldn't find you.

00:24:10You shouldn't have come back.

00:24:13I belong to Daishu now,

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

313

314

315

in the human world.

You're dreaming.

Do you think one man is going to be able to stop us?

00:28:10I have men working with me of course.

00:28:13My assassin is the drinks you just had!

00:28:18Get out here now!

00:28:32Liquid rapters?!

00:29:05Daishu, your enterprise has fallen apart.

00:29:10I'm going to destroy everything you own.

00:29:13Take a look at your Windy.

00:29:14Let her go.

00:29:16I'm going to inject her with "happiness"...

00:29:18and watch her slowly evaporate!

00:29:24Windy.

00:29:26Stop!

00:29:34"Happiness"!

00:29:38You put "Happiness" to here

00:29:44Who instructed? Speak up!

00:29:56Windy...

00:29:58Windy.

00:30:17Don't worry, she'll be alright.

00:30:30She's a rapter?!

00:30:31That's right.

00:30:32Watch out.

00:30:43Here comes the liquid rapter again!

00:30:50If it covers the entire car with itself,

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

368

the more we benefit.

Go after them!

Sergeant

South Hong Kong's electricity suddenly increased 800%.

00:33:20Dying rapters are

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

374

375

104

377

378

379

for me at this age.

I think I need to give my business over to my son Shudo.

00:34:04Daishu...

00:34:07It doesn't matter where you hide.

00:34:09Antirapter agents will

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

385

made things worse.

The only solution was to get along peacefully.

Windyfor that young agent.

00:34:39You're my only hope

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

392

393

394

395

396

397

in her body to save her.

Otherwise you'll evaporate away.

No! If we do that then you'll evaporate.

It doesn't hurt to sacrifice oneself.

I learned that from humans.

Daishu

I hope you'll cooperate with us.

We don't want to have to use force against you.

Go down there.

We believe in our hope for getting along with humans.

00:35:58Get out of here right now.

00:36:01Find the rapter who placed this trap...

00:36:03So no one else will end up

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

about the same in all animals.

I thought violence was the nature of rapters...

and that the nature of humans was kindness and peace.

00:38:26Isn't that so?

00:38:35Control him with telekenetics.

00:38:37Strengthen the magnetic field...

00:38:38Yes.

00:38:54We humans are slaves to money.

00:38:56I'm on a pay roll too.

00:38:57How many cubes?

00:38:58That's alright, I can do it myself.

00:39:16When influenced by money,

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

454

455

456

to numb yourselves with "happiness".

That must mean your lives are miserable!

Our lives are miserable...

because you rapters messed up our legal system.

You have more than one type of law.

Besideshas many weak points.

00:40:07Letting you arrest me

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

464

465

466

467

performing another resurrection.

All those in my organization are tired of the fighting.

00:40:35So is my Windy.

00:40:41Strengthen the magnetic field.

00:40:43Force this rapter back to its original shape.

00:40:45See if you creatures ever dare do this again!

00:40:56Sergeant.

00:40:57Ken Kai, come with me.

00:40:58Yes sir!

00:41:01Our actions are all leaking out to the rapters.

00:41:03You are the biggest suspect...

00:41:05because of your unclean background.

00:41:07I've decided to temporarily suspend you.

00:41:09Orchid, get his gun.

00:41:11Understand?!

00:41:12Yes sir!

00:41:14You're ungrateful for all I've taught you.

00:41:20- Sergeant.

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

489

490

491

492

493

you're the distributor of "happiness”.

Daishu has been arrested.

You're the heir of Asian Finance's 128 companies.

00:42:04You'll be the most powerful rapter

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

503

504

505

506

507

508

509

510

511

You're more exciting than a video game.

How dare you come back here

I didn't betray you.

I've come back to ask for your help.

Daishu has been arrested.

How were you able to come back?

Daishu wants me to tell you...

you must find out who's distributing "happiness".

00:43:17Why should I trust you?!

00:43:19What are you going to do to prove yourself?

00:43:22I've been poisoned by "happiness”.

00:43:24How do you want me to prove myself?!

00:43:53Who is it?

00:43:54Room service.

00:43:58You don't work here.

00:44:01"Room service..."

00:44:05- Taki.

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

532

where we were 3 years ago.

Take me back to that day it was raining so hard.

00:44:27Let me be with you.

00:44:29I've no time left.

00:44:33Coming to see me has

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

540

- Windy

You couldn't go back.

You should hurry and leave.

Your gun is useless.

A hard gun that won't fire...

is just trash.

You can't run away again.

Windy

is so I wouldn't have to face something like this.

00:45:23That while we were together...

00:45:25you would die in front of me.

00:45:27I'd rather I died in front of you.

00:45:30I don't want to leave you.

00:45:50You put poison on your lips?!

00:45:52Taki...

00:45:54Why did you do that?

00:45:56Everything you just said was a lie?!

00:46:00Taki, I beg of you...

00:46:02If you obey my instructions

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

563

564

565

566

567

568

420

570

571

427

573

574

575

to save Daishu like this.

Don't fall into a trap.

Antidote! Take this and save him.

You eat it first.

You believe me now?!

No. Come with us.

You think you can arrest me?

You underestimate me?!

The antidote is poisoned.

I've been tricked.

Shudo

Ken.

What game is this rapter playing?

Windy

You've all fallen into my trap.

Taki

See how Windy and I look during passionate sex.

Don't you feel ashamed for her?!

I even feel ashamed for myself!

Windy

You're not attracted to me anymore!

You and Taki will hate each other just before you die.

00:48:00I want you both to die unhappily.

00:48:02I succeeded!

00:48:04Congratulations, you died with your eyes open!

00:48:09He used Windy to kill me...

00:48:13Taki, I'm taking you

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

611

612

613

614

with someone elses.

Since she's a rapter...

Daishu's blood is the only choice we have.

Daishu is too important to us.

This woman isn't of much use to us.

Start up the magnetic field to change her form.

I want to get a good look at her rapter face.

Damn! How will I be able to sense Windy is here?

00:49:46Sergeant.

00:49:47Ken, your actions give me no choice

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

628

Taki would've died in the hotel.

One must control his emotions when dealing with rapters.

00:50:09I'm very disappointed in Taki too.

00:50:11Your dad ended up with a rapter

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

633

634

635

636

637

638

639

640

to be a practical world?

Time is set by man.

Why do we want it to prove everything to us?

Actually

Men has always decided many things ahead of time.

00:51:27I agree!

00:51:33You know I've been waiting for you all along.

00:51:39You're like the sergeant.

this city with "happiness”.

The money's ready

30 million US dollors.

Count it.

You're nice and punctual!

Orchid?!

Without your help we never could have...

brought so much "happiness" into this port.

I'd like to get to know you better.

I'm not interested.

Rapters and humans have fought for thousands of years.

00:55:47I can't begin to guess how long it will go on.

00:55:50I'm not interested in this type of history.

00:55:53"Happiness"?

00:55:59What are you doing?! You still take this drug?

00:56:01I'll just add to your madness.

00:56:03I need it. It replenishes my energy.

00:56:05I can't...

00:56:08Ken, hurry back and tell Taki...

00:56:11Orchid is the spy.

00:56:15I just wanna make the most money

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

696

697

you still have one thing left to do.

Destroy the antirapter bureau's magnetic field.

Let's go find Taki!

No! I want to kill Shudo.

You go on ahead!

Windy!

Sell it cheap and spread it all around.

Even young kids should have "happiness”.

Consider it done.

Drive!

Do you know where to go?

Yes.

You had me convinced!

You betrayer!

Want to escape?!

Ken

You're calling me a betrayer?

You betrayed Daishu and I'm going to kill you!

I can't stand it. Give me some happiness.

Windy!

Take it back!

Done?!

Shudo!

Come over here.

Windy

I'll slown down anad wait for you.

It's useless!

Let me do it!

Come over

Don't stop! Get going!

Let's keep playing.

You want to surround me?

Rapter Vacuum?!

Ken! Don't move!

This is a specially restricted area.

Anyone who goes in must face the consequences himself.

00:59:44This is a restricted area...

00:59:46Anyone who goes in must face

I'll go with you.

Go with me?

I'm the only one who understands you.

I understand you too!

Daishu?!

Can you sense me?

Ken

Daishu.

Are you Ken Kai?!

I know you're an agent.

Just like you

Think differently doesn't mean betrayal.

I'm lucky and honoured to cooperate with humans.

01:02:55The two of us should get along very well!

01:03:00I sense that sergeant Kayama

retreat from the building.

We'll rush into the rapter vacuum.

Yes sir.

Daishu

You can see everything has stopped.

That son of a bitch Shudo is powerful.

He's created a rapter vacuum which has stopped time.

01:04:34History is starting to go backwards now.

01:04:37If it keeps up,

8 00:01:29,707 --> 00:01:32,916

814

815

816

- Yes!

The rapter vacuum's entrance is this car park.

01:05:19Save me!

01:05:21Windy!

01:05:23Taki, Daishu, save me!

01:05:27Don't fall for it, she's only a halucination.

01:05:30Don't let it control your mind.

01:05:33Ken.

01:05:35Run over there!

01:05:48Oh no! Time is starting to go backwards!

01:05:58Liquid Rapter?!

01:06:03You two hurry and go save Windy.

01:06:05I'll fix this bastard.

01:06:07OK!

01:06:13Come on! Surround me!

01:06:23Find a way to the roof.

01:06:29The most disgusting time is here again!

01:06:35Ken, time is running out.

01:06:37Catch

01:06:39OK!

01:06:44Perfect timing!

01:06:47Just 15 seconds. I can't hold on.

01:06:53Time can't prove anything.

01:06:55Go to hell!

01:07:02I agree!

01:07:09There's no time now.

01:07:12Ken, go up this way.

01:07:15Time is a real pain.

01:07:16Go!

01:07:21It's back again!

01:07:26I don't even know what time it is now.

01:07:45The 68th floor? There's only 15 floors here!

01:07:52It's another rapter!

01:07:56Honey, you remember the 7 foot woman?

01:08:01Welcome to my body.

01:08:06You will soon become part of me.

01:08:13Welcome both of you.

01:08:18Are you both here?!

01:08:26Now die!

01:08:36Ken, let's change elevators!

You can't know the pleasure of sex.

I don't have to.

All I have to do is pretend!

Daishu

You're pitiful! You're just the same as a machine.

01:10:53I'm gonna ride you till you're exhausted.

01:11:03You can't get away!

01:11:09Nice reaction!

01:11:49The rapters are collecting energy up there.

01:11:54Help me! Help me!

- Kayama!

You're a hypocrit!

Where's your dignity?

You've been sacrificing your men for your own power!

01:14:50Including Ken!

01:14:52You looked down on him...

01:14:53and, you made everyone else look down on him.

01:14:56You hadn't the charity to give him

will become part of me.

I will be everything!

I'm a rapter. Please hate me.

I'm happiest when others hate me.

- Daishu. - Taki, don't go.

01:17:36You're old.

01:17:38You little bastard!

01:17:47Where are you hiding now old man?

01:17:49Come out here! I'm going to find you!

01:17:59Ken?!

01:18:08Keep clam.

01:18:11Don't let your rapter

who's blocking my way!

Why do you keep opposing me?

Come out! Where are you?

Don't you want to kill me?

Stupid kid

I've been right behind you all along.

I still have enough power to knock you down.

I'll give you one last chance

Come back here!

Why do you only hide in other's shadows?

You're weak and timid!

Shadows reveal the lights direction.

If there's a shadow

I'll let you see how fierce shadows are!

I'll show you no mercy.

Shudo.

Come on! It's time for you to die!

We'll see which one of us dies!

You bastard! How could you use him as a hostage?

01:21:42Let him go.

01:22:00You're dreaming!

01:22:07You've the nerve to go against me, bitch?!

01:22:09If you kill me, you can't save Taki.

01:22:11You'll have to choose!

01:22:15Your weakness is having learned human emotion.

01:22:18Let him go.

01:22:19You think I'd let him go?!

01:22:20I'm just going to torture him to death.

01:22:24Go inside Taki.

01:22:25Goodbye!

01:22:26Taki...

01:22:30Shudo, let him go!

01:22:33Daishu, don't tell me what to do.

01:22:40Humans are really something!

01:22:42What a fake.

Use it to control the planes safe landing.

Sergeant

We can't use telemagneties under such hard conditions.

01:23:52It's no use. Let's land here.

01:23:53Yes sir!

01:24:02Increase the strength three times.

01:24:08The magnetic field's at maximum strength.

01:24:23Ken.

01:24:24Nothing can be changed, Sergeant!

01:24:29I'd die.

01:24:31Because I can't prove myself in this lifetime.

01:24:37You're not a rapter.

01:24:41Ken...

01:24:48Ken...

01:25:38It looks like our plans for peace have failed!

01:25:44You're more able to protect Windy.

01:25:46Take her away.

01:25:48If she had to choose between us...

01:25:51she may not pick me.

01:25:53You can't leave her here.

01:25:55Taki, I know that for the sake of being wise...

01:25:59humans tend to suppress emotions

betray your job's duties again.

I don't mind!

I really don't mind!

Taki

Ken died because of me

Sergeant

Maybe you can no longer be one

Your're starting to have feelings

Windy

Don't let me and Taki down.

Look! This city is so lonely.

I hope they'll never need the rapter's "happiness”.
