Chik loh goh yeung

Yeah, I just finished this brand new DVD of the highly-acclaimed, sexy Hong Kong action thriller... and looking over the trailer after it was over I was thinking, "Man, I don't remember that scene... or that scene... or that camera angle..." Sure enough, I check out the running times online and it seems that the US version is 11 minutes shorter than the Hong Kong version. Which seems weird in that there is all kinds of explicit gore evident in the movie... I mean, if they can show a close-up of a fellow getting shot in the family jewels... what in the heck are they AFRAID to show? Probably just some female nudity (since there doesn't ever seem to be anyone really "naked" in this movie... just the suggestion of nudity). One scene seemed to be a direct take-off (homage? copy? ripoff?) of the famous interrogation scene in "Basic Instinct". Maybe it was a more faithful re-creation in the original cut? I guess I'll never know... since it's unlikely I'll ever want to sit thru this again. I just wish I'd had the chance to see the complete version the first time... or at least have a big WARNING on the packaging that the movie is NOT complete.

After a woman's father is killed she goes after his killer. During her escape she meets a hitman that's a woman who also later trains her to join the profession.

This is the first of a series. The next film is Naked Killer 2 aka Raped by an Angel 1 followed by 2 then 3.

The story is interesting as is the main character. The cops unfortunately are played as often they were in Hong Kong at the time as inept and mostly for some laughs. I never get the humor there. There's plenty of action which made it more interesting.

This is a Cat III film so there is nudity and sexual situations. But there isn't much compared to other Cat III films from the time. In fact the main actress does take off her clothes but conveniently is either in shadow or covering herself with her hands so technically never appears nude. It is just weird the way they did it.

Still, this is decent. I found a lot of the attempts at humor a failure. The story and action make up for those failures.

I've always wondered why films like this have little appeal to the female sex. I always thought it was a lack of enthusiasm for thinly-plotted junk food movies that are full of action, sex and violence. This movie has tough women in the lead roles while the men are all submissive, dorky or just plain scumbags. Wouldn't that appeal to most women? I now see that this movie was made by men to appeal to men who want to be submissive to charismatic, sexy and deadly beautiful women. It's a male fantasy world of super women that are tough but sexy, deadly but tender. It's no wonder this film appeals to those like me who have often watched movies to make up for their awkwardness in social situations, especially involving the opposite sex. But anyway this film is a darn near perfect mix of stylish sex, wild action, black comedy and gory violence perpetrated on scummy males.

NAKED KILLER admittedly has some very cool and stylish action going on, but that's about it. The storyline is convoluted and goofy at times, and it just didn't really hold my interest.

A girl is taught to become a female assassin and the cops are out to get them. The main cop has a thing for the newly-trained hottie/assassin because of a previous run-in with her. The cops are trying to nab the assassins, the assassins are trying to not get nabbed by the cops, etc...etc...

Not much in the way of anything too sleazy or "rough" to really warrant much of the CATIII rating on this one. An OK action-film but nothing really extraordinary. If you're a fan of the "harder" CATIII material, then this one may not do too much for you. There are some hot ass chicks who show their tits a few times, and again - some well staged action sequences, but nothing for me to really write home about. May be worth a look to the CATIII enthusiasts or action-junkies, but there's better material from both genres out there. 6.5/10

If you want to check out this movie prepare for 100 minutes of wild Martials Arts, high class erotic and deadly femme fatales! In fact, "Naked Killer" doesn´t bore a second, because it satisfies in all sectors: fitted with elegant pictures that could be taken from John Woo´s 1980s-gems, heavy gunfights, violent killings and some naked female flesh this film will surely delight the fans of Asian action movies - and probably not only them! The sometimes campy acting doesn´t bother, however I liked the performances of "Bullet in the Head"-star Simon Yam, main actress Chingmy Yau as Kitty, Kelly Yao as her mistress Sister Cindy and last but not least Carrie Ng as lesbian killer chick Princess. I´d give 9 out of 10 for this great sex´n violence-comic strip from Hong Kong! Highly Recommended!!
