Breakout

 


BREAKOUT FROM OPPRESSION-1982-Fonda Chiu (Fonda Lyn aka Hsiao-Fen lu), a young woman who is haunted by her time in prison (and a murder she didn't commit) gets a job on a newspaper. Her boss Simon (Alan Tam) falls in love with her but two female co-workers don't treat her too nice. After several bizarre incidents it seems one co-worker, Simon's former lover Sheena (Lona Chang), is seeking revenge (her father was the guy Fonda was accused of killing) while taking care of her invalid grandmother. She's also killed the president of the company. Sheena attacks Simon and ties him up in the basement. He really freaks out when he discovers the president's maggot covered body. Everyone thinks Fonda is behind it.

 Eventually Fonda and Sheena have it out and a beheading ends the conflict. Simon escapes and stands by Fonda. This Taiwanese production is director Karen Yang's only credit. Geoffrey Ho is credited a production designer. Also known as EXPOSED TO DANGER. 

Thanks for reading!
