Synopsis :
“Only a beast can smell the tracks of its own kind.”
Pang Jr., a young killer from Cambodia, arrived Hong Kong to assassinate. At the same time, cop Sam and his team of detectives got their orders to investigate the crime. Wai soon found Pang with his intuition and started pursuit. Terrified, Pang fled to a refuse dump in the countryside, where he accidentally met Yue. Yue was raped by her step- father. Pang killed her step-father and promised Yue that he would take her to Cambodia and start a new and happy life together.
By this time, Wai and his colleagues tracked down the couple. Pang, like an injured beast, and killed Wai’s colleagues one by one and escaped to Cambodia. Wai swear that he would kill Pang himself even if they were at the ends of the Earth. The two men became like two wild dogs to attack each other, neither one wanting to stop until the other side fell!
Mini-Review:
Wow, this is one brutal film. Here is a quote from Peter Martin's review on TwitchFilm:
"Dog Bite Dog grabs you by the back of the neck and body slams you into the mud. Before you can catch your breath, your face is scraped along a broken concrete highway, leaving a long, bloody trail. All that's left is for a speeding truck to crush your head like a grape."
Yup, pretty much sums it up. There is no wire-fu or any real kung-fu, it's more realistic beat downs in the fights and in your brain. The film makes you start to like certain characters, then that just turns. It seems to show that everyone has that "DOG" side in them.
I really liked this film. Not sure if that makes me insane, but it just had a really interesting story and some intense scenes, you don't think are coming.
The DTS sound track was loud. This is good, because the soundtrack is awesome! When the fights happen, there are dog noises. There was barking and growling, but they messed with the sounds (fading, echoes, etc..). One of the coolest effects I've heard. Problem is, I don't like dogs, so it made me a little nervous at times. 0_o This also helped with the feel of the film.
Video looked great as well. The single disc edition had some troubles with the video, so I would purchase the 2-disc edition. This ones staying in my collection.
Thanks for reading my first MINI-review. Look for the exploding DVD Player post and my Pusher Trilogy review.

How does the fighting compare to Danny the Dog?
Different. They were very brutal, but without the kung-fu. This was str8-up animalistic!
