Review
by Kozo: |
The best English title of the year!
At first glance, this action flick appears to be a product of the
early eighties. It isn’t though. It’s just remarkably cheap and
sophomoric. Yuen Biao and Cynthia Khan are a Hong Kong/Mainland
cop team who go undercover ala Supercop. The pairing is fun
in flashes, but nothing really new or interesting goes on in this
movie, which exists as a triumph of unimaginative HK filmmaking.
Everything needs a jumpstart: story, action, stunts, acting.
Tough Beauty and the Sloppy Slop gets points for being cheap
and straightforward, but loses them all for boring and useless action,
and even worse supporting actors. Yuen Biao: has a more talented
actor/stuntman ever appeared in more useless and lousy movies? It's
hard to be too cruel to this movie, because there really isn't that
much to hate. It just exists, like pocket lint. (Kozo 1995) |
