The Untold Story is a 1993 Hong Kong thriller film directed by Herman Yau, starring Anthony Wong and Danny Lee. The movie is based on the real-life story of a Hong Kong murderer named Wong Chi Hang, who killed a family of nine and cooked their remains into pork buns. In the movie, Wong Chi Hang (Anthony Wong) is the owner of a bustling restaurant in Macau. He is known for serving the best pork buns in the city and his restaurant is always full of customers. However, things take a dark turn when the police discover a human head in a nearby river, triggering an investigation that leads them to Wong Chi Hang's restaurant.

As the police investigate the case, they realise that Wong Chi Hang is the prime suspect, and they begin to delve into his past to uncover what led him to commit such horrific acts. Meanwhile, Wong Chi Hang continues to run his restaurant and tries to avoid suspicion.

The movie is gripping and intense, as the police uncover the gruesome details of Wong Chi Hang's crimes, and his disturbing motives for committing them. The film is not for the faint of heart, and contains graphic scenes of violence, including depictions of murder and cannibalism.

Anthony Wong gives a stunning performance as Wong Chi Hang, portraying him as a complex character with deep-seated psychological issues. He brings a chilling presence to the screen, both charismatic and terrifying at the same time.

Danny Lee plays the head of the police investigation, and he also delivers an excellent performance. He is determined to solve the case and bring Wong Chi Hang to justice, but he is also haunted by the horrors of the crimes he is investigating.

The film also touches on themes of corruption and class divide, as the police struggle to navigate the murky waters of Macau's criminal underworld to solve the case. Wong Chi Hang's crime is made even more gruesome by the fact that he targeted a poor family, who were vulnerable and could not defend themselves.

Emily Kwan plays the role of Wong Chi Hang's girlfriend, and she too delivers a strong performance. She is torn between her loyalty to Wong Chi Hang and her own conscience, and the tension between them is palpable.

Overall, The Untold Story is a disturbing but compelling movie, with excellent performances and a well-crafted storyline. It is a testament to the talent of Hong Kong cinema and the bravery of filmmakers who dare to tackle such shocking subject matter.
