Loving Girl
Director:
Lam Yi-hnng
Year: 1999
Rating: 3.5
While trawling through
the VCD bargain bins in Chinatown I came across this film. Hmmm? Its rated
Category III and has both Diana Pang Dan and Tsui Kam-kong in it. Perhaps
I had discovered an unknown early Pang Dan film? Or maybe there was a reason
that it was in the bargain bin!
It regretfully turned out to be the latter. This is actually probably a fairly
recent film – both Pang Dan and Tsui look a bit worn around the collar –
and neither participates in anything coming close to a Cat III film. In fact
though Pang Dan is a brothel owner in ancient China, she remains well covered
throughout. The film really revolves around her stepdaughter (Mok Siu-lam)
and her problems with men. Now she is quite attractive and does shed her
clothes a couple of times – but all in all a very tepid and tame Cat III
film. Stay away from this one and save yourself a few bucks.
