Not a series of connected films, John Woo's Lam Ah Chun contribution showcases what we unfortunately know of his comedy side; it ain't pretty. Siao is certainly a fine comedienne and initially has the physical delivery somewhat nailed down but it's still contained within routines that never feels possible to laugh out loud at anyway. As Woo, who also wrote, pours on his social commentary about evil corporate Hong Kong, it's painfully obvious he lacks the skills of Michael Hui to combine this with a skit structure. Plain Jane To The Rescue isn't all that different to Woo's prior output therefore and the off-beat tangents may prove durable for some but the tone shouldn't feel inspirational for anyone who loved The Killer or A Better Tomorrow. Aimless is the word but at least it's comforting to know Woo re-positioned himself and improved...big time. Ricky Hui and Wu Fung co-stars while John Woo appears in a noticeable cameo.
