Viewing Notes
A little too goofy for my tastes but it’s highly entertaining and wins you over with it’s charm. Maggie Cheung does a lot to lift this with her goofy role as a hooker who never seems to actually have sex.
Yuen Wah is great as the villain, very over-the-top which is what the role requires. I wish there was a little more action spread around to show of Yuen Biao’s athleticism more but what’s there is pretty fun.
A weird release for Vinegar Syndrome.
