| Sequel to Nam Nai Choi's cult favourite is merely connected via a fairly long prologue and a cameos by Amy Yip and Man So, two of the fairies from the first film. After that, it's business as usual as Peter Ngor gives us plenty of nudity, demonic sex and ghostly hijinxs. Like the first installment, proceedings do feel boring at various times but things do spark whenever Anthony Wong appears as the depraved Wu-Tang god. Another aspect to connect the films is the fact that the directors both served as cinematographers as well and it's here that Ngor clearly has the upper hand on Nam (you may remember Ngor in an acting role, playing the cinematographer in Viva Erotica). It's lush colours and fairly nice camerawork, with some particular stunning images (for the genre) appearing at the end. Still, Nam knew how to shift gears into overdrive, something Ngor isn't interested in so even the big finale is a slow battle.
Anyone who actually went after the sequel knows what they're after and truth be told, you can't really dislike Cat III smut like this. It's uniquely Hong Kong and some small merit lies in that. |
