The Terrorizers is a 1986 drama film by acclaimed Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang.

==Plot== Aimless young woman Shu An flees from the police with her criminal boyfriend Shun when his gang's apartment hideout is raided, injuring her leg when she jumps from a balcony. Unemployed photographer Qiang takes pictures of Shun being arrested, getting one of Shu watching it happen. Zhou Yufen, a woman suffering from depression after a miscarriage three years prior, struggles to write a novel about a couple with marital issues. The section chief of the hospital her husband Li Lizhong works at dies, leaving himself, his longtime friend and colleague Jing, and a third man up for the spot. He falsely implicates Jing for a crime the old chief committed, and Jing, believing the third man to be responsible, quits in indignation.
