These comments pertain to home video only, as I continue to prefer the big stuff in theaters.After plowing through Watchmen today and Beowolf yesterday, I really appreciated this movie, as one would appreciate a Burger King whooper. Sure, it is a brainless junk movie, but I like watching the action babes and Andrea Osvart is one hot babe.I am really tired of bloated big budget confusing movies seemingly with just big special effects and fight scenes comprised of stupid wire work.Action scenes are limited as are the fight scenes, but at least they are real looking. Mostly, the movie is all about following Ms. Osvart around as she goes about her assassin job. And I will follow her anywhere. Also, the music and Shanghai are highlights, as mentioned by other reviewers.Let's not take this movie seriously because an assassin should be someone who is very ordinary looking and very forgettable. One final reason to like this movie, is no one has named it the worst movie ever made, yet.

I actually kind of enjoyed this film. Okay, the acting wasn't great, and the two women's accents got in the way of the story telling. But I thought the story was kind of interesting and I'd have liked to have seen this done with actresses who were better in English. there were some underdeveloped characters (the private detective hunting the assassin was totally unneeded to the plot, IMHO).It's not your over the top Hollywood action film, which would have involved tons of car chases. I also respect the fact that it was pretty explicit in the sex. (Americans have become such wusses in this area, even R-rated movies don't have sex scenes anymore.)

At first glance (the cover) You will expect an action packed martial arts movie with sword fighting. In all honesty this could not be further from the truth. The acting is poor and the scenery is nothing you have not seen before. As far as the martial arts goes (the little that there is), It should have been left out of the movie all together. As previously stated, It is obvious that the lead actress has no clue what she is doing and few fight scenes were filmed terribly. Selena Khoo, who plays the part of Lin is probably the best actor in this movie and that is not saying much. I believe this film relies entirely on on the attractiveness of the actresses and their willingness to appear nude on camera. While this may be what some are looking for it is not what I was looking for upon selecting this title.There is a lot of "Broken English" but this does not bother me though I could see how it would bother some.In short, The MPAA rating of this movie gives a better description of what you will get than anything else. This movie is nothing more to me than a poorly written and filmed fantasy adult soft-core.This film is not even a "b-movie"

'Two Tigers' is a sadly flawed movie which is crippled from the outset by the poor script and hideous acting from the two female leads. Neither Selena Khoo or Andrea Osvart is speaking their native tongue, but one wonders if they would look any better if they were. The movie concerns a crack female assassin Gilda (Osvart) who is sent on a mission to kill an Arabic businessman. On arrival she notices that the woman in the opposite apartment is a prostitute Lin (Khoo). After helping her fight off some heavies with some of the most ponderous and inept martial arts moves ever seen, the two become friends. But alas, her handlers order her to kill an expatriate Frenchman and his lover, who happens to be Lin. 'Two Tigers' cannot seem to make up it's mind whether it is a drama studying females whose lives are governed by men or a straight action picture. It fails as drama because nobody in the film can act. In Ms Khoo's lengthy (and obviously self penned) resume, she claims that she returned from Hollywood due to a lack of good roles for Asian women. The truth is more likely that she couldn't get any work because she is a terrible actress incapable of delivering any of her lines convincingly. Khoo only looks good on screen when she's silently posing in various states of undress, but she instantly looks years older the second she pulls any kind of facial expression. She claims to be 29, yet she did undoubled nude scenes with Robert Patrick in the Albert Pyun movie 'Hong Kong '97' which was made in 1994. So according to her she was 15 or 16 when she did the Pyun movie – something which I find hard to believe. Osvart fails to be convincing in her role as an assassin, and here is the other glaring fault of the movie – the 'action' is appallingly executed. Gilda's two 'hits' are done with absolutely no sense of tension or excitement as. she turns up, takes aim, kills and leaves. Even worse are the 'martial arts' scenes, where the bad guys crumple from the lamest looking kicks and punches imaginable. There is a scene at Lin's dojo where a line of students watch in fake awe as Lin and then Gilda demonstrate their pathetic martial arts 'skills' and the script adds even more contempt for the audience by having Lin asking Gilda 'what Dan are you'? I honestly have seen better fight choreography from teenagers goofing around on youtube than from the inept producers of 'Two Tigers' Unless you find the characters pleasant to look at, there is nothing to recommend in 'Two Tigers'. It seems that the producers obviously went with the old Godard line that all you need is a girl and a gun, but forgot that you also need a little talent behind and in front of the camera.
