With
hatchet edits and tons of pan-and-zoom camera work, this Asian film emerges
as an accidental homage to Jess Franco. But, frankly, the pedestrian cinematography
adds to the overall trashy effect. Boss Ho King (played by director Pasan)
is deeply involved in the flesh racket, supplying prostitutes and 'thrill
kittens' to the seedy underworld. Eventually three of the captive women
lead a bloody rebellion and then join an adventurous detective for the
ultimate revenge (which involves a rather unconventional use for firecrackers.
Director
Pasan Leung is better known as actor Shan Pa (who co-starred in numerous
Jackie Chan projects). He wore the director's hat only a few times [somehow
not a big surprise]. Here, he's made one of the sleaziest Hong Kong films,
with an abundance of nudity (especially during a bizarre love dance to
the song Je T'Aime), bamboo-box torture, cheap sex and sordid
S&M sequences.
