A
'No-Holds-Barred' Frantic, Outrageous Comedy

Moon
Lee and Yukari Oshima play May and Sim-Lan [a pair of contemporary Robin
Hoods] running from the law, most notably from a cop known as Lethal Weapon
(Sibelle Hu) and her partner Mad Bill (Wong Kwong Leung). Eventually they
join forces - for personal gain - against ruthless art thieving gangsters.
Wong Chun-Yeung directs a no-holds-barred comedy here, a film that is
willing to do anything [ANYTHING!] for a laugh.
Besides the breakneck 'Mad, Mad World' tempo, this movie also includes
fart jokes, shit eating (above left) and Yukari's inflatable titties (below
center). All the actors and actresses are willing to shelve their serious
personas for moments of humor and potential bouts with embarrassment.
Not everything works and much of the movie is downright cringe-worthy,
but enough qualifies as a true guilty pleasure.
After
this film, director Wong announced plans for his retirement due to health
problems. He would helm only one more feature film, the lesbian revenge
flick LADY
PUNISHER in 1994, but he continued to write screenplays for another
decade - usually under the name Zhenyang Wang - and would take minor television
acting jobs for a few more years after that. He will always be remembered
for KILLER
ANGELS, DREAMING
THE REALITY, MISSION
OF JUSTICE and ANGEL
