Black Cat

I am not following the voting crowd on this film. I loved it as much as the original-Nikita. I just have a thing for films where women take a hit and keep coming. If more women were like Black Cat men would think twice about abusing them. This movie is continual action. And unlike Nikita the action is even more violent. Cat is almost scary in her quest to reach her objective. If you like full on action, I highly recommend it. This is better than any of that Cynthia Rothrock stuff; and I like her for what she does.

(1991) The Black Cat (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION

Inspired by Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita" but in it's own unique kind of way starring Jade Leung who after going through an abusive environment starting with an assault by a trucker before making her life even worst for herself as soon as she crazily accidentally shoots a cop dead. She eventually gets picked up by an gov't organization where she along with others are being trained as assassins to execute specific people with a controlled chip installed in their heads called the "Black Cat" with only a one kind of pill to soothe their frequent headaches. This is the Chinese equivalent version of "La Femme Nikita" and is very entertaining since it's unique and not like a direct frame by frame copy of it's predecessor like "Point Of No Return"! A sequel was made called "The Black Cat II: The Assassination Of Boris Yeltsin" which is more action oriented.

Just a fun little note. You have the name of the Actor as the "Groom" wrong. I know, because it's me 😁

I worked a few days as an extra in the film. On the day of the wedding scene, the hired Groom didn't fit the tuxedo. I stepped in and my 1-shot movie career was born! Without even a credit....lol

Stephen Shin's "Black Cat" is a watchable Hong Kong effort,but also a total rip-off of Luc Besson's "Nikita"(1989).So we have here a female killing machine(Jade Leung),who kills so many men that it has to be seen to be believed.Nice performance by Simon Yam(more known as a necrophiliac killer in "Dr Lamb")is another reason to see this movie.Check it out.

Jade Leung is Black Cat, a abused woman who took ouf her revenge on her male attackers. After being officially dead, she has a chip placed in her brain by the CIA and is given a second chance at life as a highly trained professional assassin. This is based off Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita. However, in my opinion I prefer this to the original film. The storyline is tighter, there is much better action, it's violence is more fierce (and there's a lot more of it). It brings to mind"girls with guns" movies, as well as femme fatale fare like Naked Killer. Simon Yam appears in both films, giving a solid performance and great screen presence. Overall, Black Cat is a nice looking , fast paced, well acted and all.around entertaining action flick.
