Mou Tun Fei

«The man’s directed everything from romantic comedies to kung fu to hardcore pornography. He will forever be known, however, for being the man behind Men Behind the Sun, an absolutely grotesque, completely over the top piece of shock cinema revolving around the horrific experiments performed by the Japanese Imperial Army on Chinese civilians and POWs while stationed in Manchuria. Like such films as Salo and Cannibal Holocaust, it is loved and reviled by gorehounds the world over for its gruesome, extremely difficult to watch experiment sequences, its use of real cadavers and its allegedly real animal cruelty. T.F. Mou has far more in common with Italian mondo masters Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi than with Chang Cheh, Lau Kar Leung or John Woo. Sadly not a whole lot of information is available on the man himself. Apparently he was born in Taiwan, with his father; ironically, fighting as a guerilla solider against the Japanese. After graduating from a film school that was so poor they couldn’t even supply an 8mm camera for their students to make films on, he was an assistant director on several propaganda movies and then directed numerous films in Taiwan (over 100 according to some sources) before moving to Hong Kong and joining the Shaw Brothers.»

I didn't take too many classes because at that time I was an assistant director on a Chinese propaganda film called Give Back My Country . Therefore, I was rarely seen in school, and also the teachers there didn't know that much about film-making (laughs). »
