A portly cuckold (Kent Cheng) drowns his sorrows at a red light district pub following the discovery of his wife's infidelity and just before passing out in an alley inadvertently hires a triad to slay her for two-hundred thousand dollars.
Following the adulteress's brutal murder the triads come to settle the bill and when it can't be paid burn the guilt-ridden widower's gas station to the ground.
After fleeing to his home town in southern China a former North Vietnamese soldier attempts to intervene but eventually dies as a result of torture inflicted by tailing triads.
Escaping back to Hong Kong the once jovial family man is now the obsession of the soldier's grief-stricken brother (Simon Yam) -- an NVA equivalent of John Rambo -- who holds him [Cheng] culpable for his brother's death.
The highly publicized climax in "Run and Kill" should offend pretty much everyone and yet is executed in such an over-the-top manner by director Billy Tang you may find yourself choking on your giggles.
Certainly not for the easily rattled who will probably wish that after walking in on his wife and her lover Kent Cheng would have asked for a ménage à trois instead of going to the pub that night.
