Overrated and overhyped

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

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.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I never thought Asian women were attractive until I saw this movie. Thank you "Naked Killer". Before, I was an ignorant fool. I was blind, but now I see. These women were gorgeous. This is the first time I actually liked a movie solely for the looks of the women. Not because of sex or nudity, just to look at them. I say again, gorgeous.So four beautiful women are assassins. No real story to speak of, just beauty to look at. There is Kitty who is the lead star and the prettiest. Then there is Princess who is a very hot lesbian assassin. She has a sidekick Baby and then there's Sister Cindy who is the leader. Eventually Princess and Baby square off against the other two. There were some cool fight scenes.But again, it's really about looking at beautiful women killers. Good Lord they were hot. One point against the flick: Only one killer technically gets naked. Baby shows her breasts. The rest stayed clothed. But there's enough beauty and mayhem to keep the movie enjoyable.

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!!

If you've been wondering what all the fuss is about Hong Kong cinema, but didn't know where to start, watch this very sexy very action packed film about a bunch of too beautiful to believe lesbian hit women. Sure, John Woo did make the best Hong Kong films around, but this is the sexiest. The female cast is mind boggling, they are so beautiful. And they are filmed so lovingly, the films colours seep of the screen. Yes, the sex/violence may worry some, but it just looks so damn fine. There is one watershed scene (for Hong Kong censorship), where a couple of women make out in a pool, after killing a guy, the bloody water spreading around them. I never said the film was subtle.
