Interview with the director Herman Yau
Never before seen deleted scenes!

Kai San is a sleazy and despicable bastard of the most epic proportions! After being caught screwing the wife of his boss, he goes on a killing spree and flees Hong Kong. 10 years later, Kai finds himself working as a restaurant chef in South Africa. Overworked, underpaid, berated, and extorted by the restaurant owners who know of his fugitive status, Kai is a ticking timebomb...

While visiting an ebola infected tribe to purchase some discount meat for the restaurant, Kai takes time out of his busy schedule to rape a sick native woman on his way back to work. Fortunately for our anti-hero, he's a one in a million kind of guy- the kind that recovers from Ebola, yet continues to carry and spread the disease. Now he's mad, and he's not gonna take it anymore! Kai embarks on an over the top killing/raping/Ebola-spreading rampage unlike anything you have ever seen! The Ebola burgers are hot on the grill, and thebodily fluids are flowing freely!

Discotek is proud to present Ebola Syndrome in all of its debauched glory, as it is one of the funniest, most entertaining movies we have ever watched! Directed by Herman Yau (The Untold Story), and starring Anthony Wong (Infernal Affairs, Storm Riders, Hard Boiled) in a truly brilliant performance, Ebola Syndrome offers up plenty of gore and sex, tempered with a wicked sense of humor. Bon appetit!

BEN WHO?
Ben raped and infected lately?

Ebola can be contracted by a combination of the following: Bathing in the blood of animal sacrifices, having intercourse with uncooked food, injecting drugs with open sores while African insects swarm everywhere, and being violated by a disgusting coughing sneezing puking carrier.

Guilty Almost-Pleasure
Before I watched this film, one of my friends stated that it's "as nasty and low as a movie can possibly be. Nothing will shock you after you see this." Well, he was right. In this flick, Anthony Wong, portraying a sick restaurant owner, turns his back to all of today's morals and taboos as he performs actions that cause him to catch and spread the Ebola virus. For instance, in one scene, he first rapes an innocent woman, promptly kills her, then saws her to bits, grinds her up into hamburger meat, then feeds the meat to the customers in his restaurant. And that's certainly not the only example of low morale! When the spread of the virus is eventually connected to him, Anthony first realizes that he has Ebola in his system, and then uses it as a threat to all who attempt to catch him (as he cuts holes in his arms and spits the blood out to those who don't heed his warning, thus infecting them). Several intricate fighting sequences and fast action accompany the stomach-churning sequences, providing much-needed distraction. Admittedly, this movie satisfies the cravings that many have for the complete indulgence of one's cravings, regardless of the consequences brought about and the rules broken. Even those who declare this movie to be unfit to watch and forbid their children to ever set eyes upon it will still get a guilty pleasure out of the observation of the utter sickness of Wong's actions. Also, like in most famous Hong Kong action movies, the lightning-quick, dazzling action sequences will leave you mesmerized. Still, after the movie's conclusion, you will find yourself having trouble eating and sleeping every so often as the more graphic, gory scenes pay a quick visit to your memory. They're easy to brush off, but unpleasant nonetheless. However, they will fade sooner or later, making Ebola an experience to remember, but not repeat.

Avoid the Pork Buns!!!!!
Because Herman Yau & Anthony Wong are at it again!!!!
The team responsible for "The Untold Story" are back in the kitchen.
And this time, they're cooking up human pork buns in South Africa.
The only difference is these Pork Buns are chock full of the Ebola Virus!!!

Pretty much the same premise as "The Untold Story"
but without the police investigation angle, and twice the mayhem.
While "The Untold Story" was a more frightening, more believable story,
Ebola Syndrome is much more fun.
It has twice the amount of depravities as "Untold Story"
though they're not as viscious.
That was until I discovered that 99% of the deleted scenes were extended gore scenes. (Much like The Untold Story, the actual violence tends to take place offscreen)
I was a little upset to say the least.
You still get to see all the carnage taking place onscreen,
which is grotesquely beatiful
dont't get me wrong,
but the camera doesn't dwell nearly as long as it should,
which you'll see quite clearly in the deleted scenes.
Each gore scene was supposed to be a a few seconds longer.
In fact,
one scene involving a chewed eye-ball was missing entirely.
So in all honesty you might want to find a different version.
(if there is one, which I'm pretty sure there isn't)
Despite the fact that this version is alledgedly unrated.

SYNOPSIS:(With almost no spoilers)
Kai gets caught in the act with his boss's wife.
His boss, furious, beats Kai about the apartment,
This confrontation ends in a triple homicide,
with their daughter as the only witness.

12 years later, Kai is working in a kitchen in South Africa,
for a frugal businesman, who, to save a little money,
decides to buy his pork from an african tribe infected with the Ebola Virus.
During their excursion Kai becomes infected, but as it turns out,
he's one of 10 million who are immune to the virus,
which makes him a carrier.
Which means anyone coming in contact with any of his bodily fluid is infected.
When they return to work, ownership of the restaurant, violently changes hands.
And the previous owners are now on the menu.
But someone recognizes Kai
remembers him from Hong Kong,
remembers what he did.

Half the movie is spoken in Chinese,
& the other half is spoken in bad english,
Which makes for quite an unintentionally hilarious combination.
It's painfully obvious that the director doesn't speak english.
Because every actor not speaking chinese, was just downright awful,
pure cardboard, like they were reading lines off an intelligible cue-card.
Their acting, to say the least, seemed out of place.
Anthony Wong however was great, in a gross kind of way.

The Depravities include:
- a severed tongue,
- ebola rape
- decapitaion
- mutilation
- cannibalism
- toothpicks to the eye
- facial urination
- porkchop masturbation
- chewed eye-ball
- child murder
etc, etc.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
If you can't beat 'em.........
cut 'em up, and turn 'em into pork-buns.
