Better Late Then Never
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
I actually watched NAKED KILLER 2 before the first film, but that's no great shakes given that it's a thematic rather than direct sequel; the characters are different here. The alternate title for this is RAPED BY AN ANGEL, and it's also a film that spawned a long-running series; the title gives you some idea what to expect of the subject matter.The surprising thing about NAKED KILLER 2 is that it's not bad at all. For a film with a rapist as a central character, it's fairly densely plotted, with interesting supporting characters and some well-handled courtroom drama interludes. Not what I was expecting from a scuzzy rape-revenge thriller. Part of this success may be down to director Andrew Lau, who would later handled the INFERNAL AFFAIRS trilogy amongst many other movies.This was the third title of a 'Babes and Bullets' box set I picked up, the other two films being the disappointing EVIL INSTINCT and THE HUNTRESS: HER NAME IS CAT. NAKED KILLER 2 is a much better film than either of those, although it's worth noting that the UK edition extensively cuts out all of the rape sequences. I don't much like watching depictions of rape anyway so it was no great loss. Simon Yam has a fine supporting role as a romantic Triad while Chingmy Yau grabs all of the attention as the kick-ass lead. As usual for a Hong Kong thriller, there are bad taste elements, lots of sex but little nudity, jolting edits between romance and rape, some cool action, and a general high energy feel to the piece.
Don't read the back of the DVD case, it outlines the whole film. The film is about Mr. Chuck (Mark Cheng), who prefers rough sex. Nam (the beautiful Chingmy Yau) spurns his advances at a party, so he befriends, then betrays her room mate Man (Jacqueline Ng). He rapes her but makes it look completely consensual, and is found not guilty by a court. He exacts revenge, then Nam does (again, the DVD case tells you how, I won't). The film is somewhat creepy and Mark Cheng is sleazy, which means he did his job fairly well. In many films, Chingmy Yau is eye candy mostly, but she gets to stretch her acting muscles a little here. Its good to see that, she was a big star at the time. The story has been told before and there are many "sequels" (I doubt they are true sequels, more just variations on this theme) but if you can handle it, its not bad. There is a little nudity in it, but its not per-se gratuitous.
This film brings back Chingmy Yau (Kitty from Naked Killer), and it also goes by Naked Killer 2, but there is nothing similar. She is no longer "Kitty," but Yau Yuk-nam, who is being stalked by a rapist.Her stalker (Mark Cheng) and his girlfriend (Linda Cheung) like to play rape, but he brings a friend in one night, who really rapes her. He then rapes her friend Chu (Jacqueline Ng), while she is gone with Tat (Simon Yam) After he beats the rap, things get very bloody as he takes revenge.Yau plots a revenge of her own after Chu is not found.Meanwhile, Cheng gets Tat out of the picture by seducing his ex and getting information for the police.What he doesn't is that there is a big surprise waiting for him. He will get what he deserves.
I think it is better to see this as the first in a series (of five?) rather than a sequel to Naked Killer. Whilst having been made with much the same squad this a very different film and has led many to see it who wouldn't otherwise, hence the surprisingly low average core. This truly is a rape comedy and therein lies another problem, understandably for some viewers. Oh and the 'angel' of the title refers, I believe, to the mask worn at the start. Anyway despite or because of all that I love it and if you like sleazy cat3 films, you will too. Jaw dropping stuff all the way with lovely girls, fast action and sex, nudity and of course rape barely without pause. Even the brief police investigations and the court scenes are amusing. Not for everybody but what is?
