《行在水上》中的古晋七层楼是导演蔡明亮居住15年的地方。随着故乡的变化，寻着记忆拍摄下来的景、物、人显得格外的寂寞和残败不堪。即使如此，导演仍然认为，那是一段他最美好的年代。

This production of 'Twelve Angry Men', written especially for Studio One, is shorter than the film version and leaves a few twists and turns of plot undeveloped, but it is fifty minutes of class nevertheless. For many years this episode was thought to have been lost. The Museum of Television and Radio (now the Paley Center) had only the first 30 minutes of the hour-long program on a kinescope provided by CBS - the only version CBS had. After nearly 30 years of searching, a copy of the complete program was found in 2003 by filmmaker Joseph Consentino, who was working on a documentary about noted defense attorney Robert Leibowitz (Leibowitz reported on the Charles A. Lindbergh baby kidnapping for the NY radio station WHN) and found a copy of the show in the archives maintained by the children of Leibowitz, Robert Leibowitz and Marjorie Leibowitz Finch. Samuel Leibowitz requested and received a commercial-free kinescope copy of "Twelve Angry Men" from CBS shortly after it aired because of his interest in legal issues. The Leibowitz children donated the kinescope to the museum and it had a re-premiere in May 2003.

平日作風大膽的刁蠻女明星，因為搭便車而被看似斯文英俊的男子強暴，堅持提出告訴，反而遭到輿論攻擊奚落，痛不欲生。負責報導的女記者婉清，獨排眾議、不顧一切的追查幕後真相，卻反而在深夜遭到四名酒醉工人輪暴，不僅身心受創，也因此與未婚夫解除婚約。從此對社會公義與人性徹底絕望的她，於是佈下天羅地網，以更殘忍恐怖的虐殺反擊，展開瘋狂的復仇行動…。以《上海社會檔案》一片爆紅的陸小芬，在《瘋狂女煞星》化身恐怖復仇女神，展現了更驚人大膽的演出。女導演楊家雲在片中巧妙運用多種暴力元素，筆長尖銳的武士刀鋒、水泥工地的外露直挺鋼筋、破碎的戳刺玻璃、罕見的長柄獵槍等等，充滿陽具象徵意義，在極盡性別剝削之餘，卻全部成為陸小芬手中復仇的殺人利器，極富視覺快感的反轉意味。相較之下，多年後昆丁塔倫堤諾和烏瑪舒曼的《追殺比爾》，甚至反而略顯工整而保守。
