| A script collaboration officially but the end result that is Ghostly Vixen has Wong Jing's paws entirely over it. Insulting everyone from blacks, transvestites to Sandra Ng, the premise of Amy Yip playing an Evil Girl aiming for immortality by draining virgins of their sperm is of course also unashamedly tailor made for the busty actress but the director of The Inspectors Wears Skirts, Wellson Chin steers this one perfectly allright towards its goals of being energetic entertainment. Nat Chan's virgin character is both abusive and suffering from bad luck in the sex stakes and the only one who's ever loved him, the ugly Lumy (Sandra Ng) even puts spells on him when all's not going in her favour. In one sequence therefore Chan is running around with a lumber-sized erection, one he has to tie to his leg when going to work the next day. Cue skit. It's crass, low and a lot of fun thanks to director Chin's confidence in working with this particular material. With a cast of supporting characters equally well suited for the ride, in particular Shing Fui-On as sort of a biker wizard, Ghostly Vixen tickles, even when it's for the wrong reasons. Wu Fung, Charlie Cho, Wu Ma and Bill Tung also appear. |
