March 2011:Getting asked by a friend to order a DVD of the deranged Greek Horror film Singapore Sling,I took a look on Amazon UK,and ordered the first result.When the disc arrived,I soon discovered that I had ordered the wrong Singapore Sling,which led to me throwing the "other" version in the corner of the room.October 2015:Preparing to write my 900th IMDb comment,I decided that it was time to pick up the disc,and finally make an alternative Singapore Sling.The plot:Sent to a Singapore jail on trumped-up charges, Michelle Drake agrees to get married to Adam Chance,in exchange for early release.Stealing Chance's family ring,Drake runs off to the US.Reaching the US,Drake soon gets involved with an oil baron dynasty.Breathing a sigh of relief,Drake soon discovers that Chance has decided to make his own Singapore Sling for her in the US.View on the film:Although she is sadly limited to a supporting role, Shannon Tweed gives a sweet performance as Lisa Blair,whose curling lips suggest that Blair knows far more than she is letting on.Appearing to have an allergy to bras (thankfully!) the sexy Rena Riffel gives a spicy performance as Drake,thanks to Riffel revealing Drake's innocent sex kitten looks to be keeping a quick-witted Femme Fatale lurking underneath.Sending Drake away from Singapore to the US,writer/director and co- star James Hong slides Drake into a world a glamour,with long, glossy tracking shots. Hilariously barking in the movie,Hong gives a delightfully greasy,slime ball performance as Chance,who soon discovers that Drake has made a Singapore Sling of revenge.
... View MoreSingapore Sling 1999 is directed by James hong he also acted in this film what was this man thinking when he made this film he never cared about the characters,story or how to bring them close so at least a decent narration could have been formed but all efforts are wasted.the plot:Michelle Drake escapes from Singapore after getting arrested for some wrong doings she makes her way back to to USA & to ask for help from a oil company man but things don't go smooth as they seem a Singapore crime lord Chang Li comes after her because Michelle married him in order to avoid prison time.the cast:all of the cast is bad except Rena Riffel & Shannon Tweed my god this lady is queen of soft core genre but there is only one sex scene its even filmed badly Shannon don't have any more sexy scenes but is a Rena Riffel film entirely.there are plenty of other Shannon Tweed films way better then this i got the DVD and i was disappointed it holds zero entertainment factor and why the name is Singapore sling its not even filmed in Singapore.overall Singapore Sling 1999 is a below average effort from the makers my rating is 2/10.skipp it.
... View MoreRena Riffel gained some notice in the mid-90s, one of the results being her central role in "Scandalous Behavior". This movie could be viewed as an attempt to pass the torch from erotica queen Shannon Tweed to Riffel. It was a relief to see RR in a more fleshed-out (pun intended) character, demonstrating both her singular attractiveness and solid acting. However, as much as I got that warm feeling from watching Rena as the tough yet sympathetic victim, I was just as quickly disillusioned by James Hong's outrageous antics as a scheming foreign businessman.For those like myself, you probably instantly identify James Hong as the chief villain in "Big Trouble in Little China". 'Lo Pan' was cool, sinister and mysterious, the last guy on earth you'd want to mess with. Not so in this movie. Apparently, being your own director gives one artistic license to put on a culture-clashing cowboy outfit and make a complete fool of yourself on screen. I cringed as Hong cut loose on a dance floor with a group of Texans, interspersed with him laughing like a madman and doing a terrible hillbilly impersonation.The rest of the movie is about what you expect from the genre. Dumb characters (what was the point of the two henchmen, anyway?), clumsy plot twists (the brother who suddenly cares more for Rena than her own fiancé does), and bad bad acting. Shannon Tweed is looking a bit ragged at this point and doesn't seem to put in as much effort here. Advice: shut the movie off after Shannon and Rena drive off in the car. Trust me you don't want or need to see the last 10 minutes. Not since "Howling: New Moon Rising" have I seen a more contrived use of line-dancing as a plot device.
... View MoreThis is one of Tweed's finest. Why would you watch this movie? Accept it, for it's sex scenes or if you are a big fan of Shannon Tweed. The sex scenes are steamy and long. Tweed acts like a real fox and really knows how to turn on the audience.There are in my opinion three memorable scenes: 1. Rena Riffel's long sex scene. Wow, this woman is so bendy and hot! Her butt is one of the best I've seen in these movies. Believe me, she's one good reason to get this movie. 2. Tweed's infamous real sex scene. The scene is old fashioned but kinky. Watch out for the "real" penetration. 3. Tweed getting savage, wild sex while doing exercise. That scene is like something any man would like to experience! It's sexy at it's best. Also, the last sex scene of the movie is pretty good. Tweed gets it from behind while wearing a sexy, short dress. Yeah, it's all that good.Watch this movie if you like soft core sex flicks. Also, if you are a fan of Tweed you will be in paradise!
