This is a film about the movie industry, about favors, hooking up etc. It is mostly set in Copenhagen and the story begins with the son of a big producer going to Copenhagen from Hong Kong trying to seal a deal. He gets involved with the Denmark girls. I have to admit that its not good that the best thing I can say about the film is some of it is in English, so its not difficult to follow. There is nudity, not too gratuitous but its there. Li Ching gets involved in this and I wish she didn't. This is the first film of about 10 that I've seen her in where she doesn't quite appeal to me, despite her obvious beauty. I cannot recommend this film, its muddled, the story doesn't keep you interested and its somewhat dated. My one smile: At a club, the people there are dancing to a muzak version of Bread's "Make It With You". I don't know if it was intentional. Despite Li Ching, I'd say skip this.

'Sexy Girls of Denmark' is an erotic-comedy-drama produced by the Shaw Brothers studio and directed by Lu Chi/Lui Kei. A businessman's son, Kwok Chuen(Chung Wa/Tsung Hua), heads to Denmark to take care of a deal for a movie studio. In Denmark, he meets and falls "in lust" with actress Ann Charolette(Birte Tove). Later on, Kwok Chuen finds out that Ann Charolette is a soft-core porn actress and she has no plans of leaving the industry or having a relationship with Kwok Chuen. Kwok Chuen later meets Ms. Fang(Li Ching, not to be confused with actress Ching Li, Ching Miao's daughter), a Chinese woman living in Denmark. Will he succeed in seducing her, winning her love and her hand in marriage? Should we care?

There's a lot more working against 'Sexy Girls of Denmark' than for it. The story fails to be engaging most of the time, the Danes seem to speak more English than Danish in the film, the wobbly camera work may make one dizzy, the bizarre editing could cause seizures, and the close-ups of people kissing each other(with tongue!)may cause nausea! I adore actress Li Ching, but I personally, will never get over her unfortunate involvement in this hunk of junk. This film does contain some decent acting, a few effective gags, and "Baby Queen" Li Ching, but there aren't enough redeeming factors to save this lackluster film. Birte Tove and a number of other Danish women are constantly nude in the film. Li Ching and Karen Yip are kept clothed as they were considered "legitimate" actresses in Hong Kong, at the time. Tsung Wa and Li Ching "make love" during a montage with period costumes and weapons. This film isn't a turkey, but it's close!
