Mat to sing suk si chi mat to sin chi

In short, an angel descends from heaven to help a boy get his dream girl. But this angel falls in love this boy. If I present this plot without any further context, one would think that this is a romantic comedy targeted towards female audience. This sounds nothing like the sexplotation films common in Hong Kong during the 1990s.

However, as the promotional poster suggests, this movie is marketed as a softcore nudity film. On that note, the two main female characters are underused on that front. There weren't enough nude scenes to start, and the sex scenes (Wei in the kitchen, Peach on the boat) aren't steamy enough, and definitely lack passion. My favourite scenes in the film would probably be the way Peach descends on earth (completely naked in the back alley), and the final scene where she expresses her love by appearing totally naked on the boat, and make love with him in the middle of Victoria Harbour.

The third in a series of films connected by some recurring cast members and vague supernatural allusions. Peach is an incompetent angel sent to Earth to teach a lovelorn man what true love is. Since she has no idea herself, her advice is usually ineffective babytalk. This film lacks the verve and crudity of The Fruit is Swelling, which made the most of its alarming central plot devices. In this, there seems to be no reason at all for Peach being an angel, and it all works towards a predictable outcome. Jay Fong is completely charming as Peach, but the whole enterprise is a little tame and normal. Right, I think I've reviewed enough Category III movies on this website. Its time to go and espouse my views on Tarkovsky...
