Alright, love Cat 3 movies, love extreme movies, love sexy movies, love underground movies, hell even love Hollywood movies! But what gets on my nerves is when I read a glowing review of a Cat 3, then spend my money and get totally disappointed. This movie was shallow, boring, clichéd and overly glossy (trying to be an Asian Basic Instinct) but at least that Hollywood movie had good acting, the acting or should say "posing" in this movie is horrible, and the dialogue, my baby brother has more interesting words. The story is poor too, but there is some violence and a little nudity, but this doesn't cut the mustard.If if you think I'm too harsh because I am a prude, check out these classics that at least have something to say and are stylish and clever... go get Red to Kill (shocking), Ebola syndrome (to be sickened), Baise Moi (realistic sex and violence), Last Exit (underground sex and violence), Combat Shock (bleak and violent), as top examples of movies that do it right.Give it 5-10 because there is some nice girls but it's all so fake.
... View MoreI was in Hong Kong when this movie was released, and I saw it as a feature movie there. There was a big poster (about 40' x 20') on building walls hanging everywhere around town with sexy rear end of Chingmy Yau in leather shorts with a gun in her hand. I heard that she was Wong Jing's girlfriend at the time (Wong Jing was also married), and I could see why he liked her so much. At the time I'd say Chingmy had the cutest rear end in all of Hong Kong. Okay, that sets the tone for this movie. It's sex and violence and all sorts of kink thrown in. Cinematography is beautiful, and camera angles superb, showcasing all of the beauty of Chingmy and Carrie (Ng). Plot is pretty good as it's written by the talented Wong Jing himself. This is one of the best (if not the best) erotic fantasy / action movie Hong Kong has ever produced, and features again three of the best Hong Kong talents (Yau, Yam, Ng) in one of their most intriguing roles.Chingmy Yau despite her sex symbol status was a fairly conservative working woman. She worked steadily in her careers and now has a nice family. In one of the interviews when she was asked what would she like to be if she was reborn, her answer was "A spiritual aspirant" showing that her value is not all glitz and glamor.
... View MoreI must disagree with Le Froque, who states that Naked Killer is banned here in Britain; I myself bought a copy of the uncut version some five years ago. It seems to be a common misconception that us Brits are too straitlaced when it comes to sex and violence but the opposite is true - yes, it isn't seen in everyday life but we've got more than our fair share going on behind closed doors.Naked Killer is good film but the English subtitles are a nightmare. There are spelling mistakes all over the place, grammatical errors that would make even a proper meat-head jump up and down with anger and sometimes they don't even even follow the action. Having said that, they appear to have coined a new word, "sexiful", which I personally think is pretty neat - and my wife thinks "sexiful" is quite descriptive.
... View MoreNot as good as John Woo's or Ringo Lam's films, but still a nice change of pace, a lot campier than Woo or Lam. Good cinematography by William Yim and stylish direction by Clarence Fok Yiu-Leung, a couple of very impressive action sequences. Possibly the Citizen Kane of lesbian hitwoman films, I think this is the only one I've seen though. As usual with Hong Kong movies, the wonky subtitles provide a bit of unintentional entertainment.
