| I've been wanting to see this one since I spotted its poster in a Chinatown (excuse me, "International District") video shop window when it first came out. This was back before the days of the Internet, and films like this were nigh-to-impossible to locate if you didn't read the language.
It was great to find it here. Unfortunately, as I always expected it would be, the movie is awful. It pretty much fails at everything that it is trying to be. It's an unfunny comedy, a frightless horror movie, and a tepid women-in-prison feature. There are some mild catfights (including one where clothes are completely removed) and a few locker-room style scenes of nudity in the first half. The actresses are indeed pleasing to the eye and not afraid to strip buck-naked during these fleeting moments. Of course, Amy Yip doesn't actually show anything, as usual. She's just around to provide cleavage on the cover (it's what lured me in - that, and the unfulfilled promise of debauchery behind bars).
Unless I blinked at the wrong moment, there is no nudity in the second half, so skip that part, because frankly it's not the stellar plot that will keep you watching this snooze-o-rama. |
