| After Lyon is raped by a group of illegal car dealers (shortage of rapists in Category III movies is never an issue), she's diagnosed with venereal disease and subsequently kills herself. Left is ex-boyfriend and cop Chin (Alex Fong) and Wella (Pauline Chan) to pick up the pieces and revenge. Chin doesn't get much done his way so Wella poses as a hostess to lure the gang out...
While one of the opening scenes looks like a club setting that is in fact just an ordinary room, Behind The Pink Door is still laughably cheap. It's certainly dark and depressing but created more with an eye for Z-grade TV melodrama with very low class erotica to go with it. True, there's little tenderness and more viciousness intended whenever flesh is introduced but the film works better as the amateur work it is as the laughs are plenty. Especially one brilliant scene containing the subtitle "I'll fight VD with VD!" and a sex-session where our main bad guy (Dennis Tang) keeps his pants on all throughout the acrobatic act. I don't want to go into the technicalities of it all. Elements like excessive sweat on characters after very poorly done sex scenes continues to amuse but the crucial reel of revenge doesn't engage. The repulsive button the filmmakers easily push but there's no shameless movie to go along with it. Alex Fong in his dorky, bad acting-phase barely appears during this last section. |
