Trivia
The film is very loosely based on one of the most sensational of Hong Kong murder cases. In 1985, two teenagers, Kenneth McBride and Nicola Meyers, were savagely tortured and killed on a hillside on Hong Kong island. They were students at a posh English-language school, and the police worked overtime to find their killers, a gang of local hoodlums, of whom most were under 18. This film is an attempt to find a rationale for why they were killed.

Alternate versions
The Mei Ah Entertainment DVD runs 79:34. At 16:40 the audio is cut, and subtitles appear in Chinese only. This was to remove bad language.

Another very graphic Category III flick.

Kang is a cruel criminal.When he was young,his parents detested him and slapped him when he tried to help or be nice.His girlfriend is violently gang-raped by two foreigners and this is the beginning of Kang's madness.Soon he sadistically rapes foreign women,violates her with a piece of wood,bites off her nipple and finally kills her..."Suburb Murder" is one hell of an offensive film.There are three vicious gang-rape scenes in this sleazy flick as well as plenty of sex and full-frontal nudity.The opening scene is brief but very gory,as is the closing scene which leads up to it.Unfortunately the direction is amateurish and the acting is pretty awful,however if you are a fan of morally dubious HK Category III cinema give this sickie a try.7 out of 10.Enjoy this depraved spectacle of rape and sexual violence.
