The constant musical/pop numbers, uneven structure, esoteric puns, and broad gags may drive some viewers bananas! Nevertheless, I enjoyed this piece of lightweight musical/slasher-horror/romantic/comedy flick and I think it worked a lot better than it should've. A group of college kids (one is portrayed by a young Dean Shek Tin) are stranded on Lantau Island during a typhoon (the word, according to my Mandarin Chinese textbook, 'typhoon' derives from the Chinese words 'tai' and 'feng', i.e. 'excessive winds') . Luckily, the youngsters brought along their musical instruments and a radio. They won't die of boredom! On the radio, they hear a news report about a woman named Jenny (Hu's character is also named Jenny Hu) , a woman who killed twelve men and she escaped from Hong Kong in a speed boat (while wearing an orange, form-fitting bathing suit[!, There is a God!]) . A local on Lantau Island (a familiar face, Li Kun, from 'The Big Boss' and 'Fist of Fury') runs into Jenny and he helps her find some shelter (for some reason, the Island of Lantau has no lodging) . The youngsters, in a 'Scooby-Doo-esque'-style sans Scooby and Scrappy, keep an eye out for murder-suspect, Jenny Hu. Chin Han portrays a renovator who runs into Jenny while she takes a bubble bath, but he thinks she's a ghost (a la 'A Chinese Ghost Story') . Irene Chin Yi-ling portrays the fiancee of Chin Han's character and she becomes jealous when Chin Han's character gets close to Jenny. Will he be victim #13 (as the Celestial/Shaw DVD case asks) ?

I haven't seen a lot of Jenny Hu's films, but I am willing to bet $10 that this is one her more light-hearted works in her filmography. From a number of different sources, I 've heard that Jenny Hu's films consist mostly of romantic and dramatic works. Some people compare Jenny Hu, for some reason, to Audrey Hepburn. Jenny Hu appeared,in such films, opposite Peter Chen Ho in the romantic/drama/musical 'Till the End of Time' and in 'Torrent of Desire', a film about a distinguished family with a dark, decadent side. I have to admit that Jenny Hu's ear-to-ear smile, classy beauty, Germanic-Chinese complexion, and solid acting abilities are appealing. The 'Da Zui Xia/Come Drink with Me/Golden Swallow' gag was quite amusing, aside from its esoteric nuances. Chin Yi-ling and a female co-star "duel" with bamboo sticks as the 'Come Drink with Me/Golden Swallow' score plays on the soundtrack. I laughed my @#$ off, but the pun may fly over the heads of some viewers. The "duel" gag with the 'Golden Swallow' music almost felt like the prolouge from '1941' (1979) where Spielberg pokes fun at his own blockbuster, 'Jaws'. 'Golden Swallow' and 'Guess Who Killed My Twelve Lovers' both are Shaw Brothers-produced flicks ( I am sure the studio execs didn't mind letting the filmmakers use the 'Golden Swallow' music for the "duel" gag) . Speaking of 'Jaws' (1975) ( and Spielberg's TV movie 'Duel'[1971]) , there's a scene involving a shark (this film was made about seven years before 'Jaws'[1975]) . There's another scene in '1941' where Tim Matheson and Nancy Allen run into a sculpture of a T-rex in the La Brea tarpits (Spielberg later directed a film version of 'Jurassic Park', talk about prophetic... ) . Jenny Hu has probably appeared in better films than this, but this flick is a nice, lightweight anti-thesis to Jenny Hu's more serious films.
