The Eight Immortals Restaurant: The Untold Story

The Eight Immortals Restaurant: The Untold Story is a 1993 Hong Kong crime-thriller film directed by Herman Yau and starring Danny Lee and Anthony Wong. The film is based on the Eight Immortals Restaurant Murder that took place in August 4, 1985 in Macau. While the massacre involving a family of 10 did occur at the Restaurant, the alleged cannibalism is sensationalism inferred from the incomplete discovery of the victims' corpse, only finding limbs, and that there was a lack of telltale smell of decomposition despite the summer tropical heat. The film was followed up by two unrelated sequels with The Untold Story 2, featuring Wong returning in a supporting role, and The Untold Story 3 with Stephanie Chan in another supporting role.
