 ere's an interesting survey for those of you planning on
watching 1992's "Naked Killer": If you're a cop, and you witness a woman repeatedly stab a
guy in the balls with a scissor, should you: a) arrest
her, or b) fall madly in
love with her. Our brilliant cop chooses b.
If you're a sleazy businessman who has just accidentally
killed the husband of the woman you're sleeping with, and the dead man's
daughter comes after you with a .45 and shoots you in the ass, do you:
a) knock
her out, kill her, then get rid of the body, or
b) knock her out then try to
rape her.
Our sleazy businessman chooses b.
When cops go to the home of a victim whose genitals has
been chopped off, and you are obviously watching a movie written by Jing Wong,
will the cops:
a) find the genitals and solve the crime, or
b) accidentally eat
the genitals believing it's a sausage.
If you know the name Jing Wong, then you
know the answer to this one.
"Naked Killer" was one of the first Cat III films
to feature a lot of over-the-top violence mixed in with plenty of flesh
peddling. It's a silly film, filled with sex scenes that look more like people
having seizures than actually having sex. The violence is so overboard that
calling it cartoonish is a disservice. And the comedy only serves to entertain
between bloody violent acts and overt and covert lesbian scenes.
If there is one overly positive thing I can say about
"Naked Killer", it's that the movie looks stunning, especially for a
Hong Kong movie made in 1992. The slick visuals are courtesy of Peter Paul
("Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon") and William Yim ("Legend
of Zu"). The rest of the film can be found in any early 1990s movie.
If all of the above is what you're looking for, then
"Naked Killer" is for you. But if you actually like a plot and some
acting with your flesh and style, watch another Jing Wong movie, "Naked
Weapon", instead. Actually, if you think about it, "Weapon"
is pretty much a remake of "Killer", done exactly 10 years later.
Coincidence?
