Risible
film which attempts to be an action, comedy, fantasy film, but
fails miserably on all counts. Yukari Oshima, who has sadly
wasted her talent on dross like this for much of her career,
stars as one of two futuristic policemen chasing a gang of
triads. Just when the plot is in danger of making sense, two
feuding Martians arrive to continue their battle on earth. The
police officers decide to help the 'good' Martian and defeat
his enemy, bringing peace back to the streets of Hong Kong.
For some reason, Philip Ko tries to emulate the very worst
films of Wong Jing. Both directors can make good films, but so
often they feel the need to put dreadfully poor, bad taste
comedy into an already strained narrative. One to avoid, even
if you're a fan of the Osh.
