ID 1350127300 Her Fatal Ways Trilogy Boxset (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)
Her Fatal Ways (1990) Featuring Carol Dodo Cheng in her signature role, Her Fatal Ways is a hilarious comedy from director Alfred Cheung. Cheng Shih Nan (Carol Cheng) is a Mainland inspector who journeys to Hong Kong with her assistant and cousin Hsiou Sheng (Alfred Cheung) to deliver a ruthless criminal (Michael Chow). But the bad guy escapes, meaning Shih Nan and Hsiou Sheng are now stuck in capitalist Hong Kong for an extended stay! A flag-waving supporter of the Communist Party, Shih Nan marvels at the decadent lifestyle of her Hong Kong counterpart, Inspector Wu Kei Kuo (Tony Leung Ka Fai). But despite the culture clash, the two disparate cops find the common ground they need to dispense justice - and even discover something akin to romance! But will the Party approve? An intelligent Hong Kong comedy that doesn't resort to sight gags and pratfalls to earn laughs, Her Fatal Ways was a major hit in Hong Kong and spawned numerous sequels also starring Carol Cheng. A witty mixture of action, comedy, political satire, and social commentary, Her Fatal Ways reflects the early nineties Handover fears facing the Hong Kong people, and is an entertaining, engaging motion picture to boot! Her Fatal Ways II (1991) More cop comedy and cultural clashes occur in Her Fatal Ways II, the sequel to the immensely popular Her Fatal Ways! Carol Cheng returns as Mainland Inspector Cheng Shih Nan, who once again leaves the Mainland with her cousin Hsiou Sheng (Alfred Cheung, doing double duty as director and co-star) to tackle a Hong Kong-related murder. They get help from their Hong Kong brethren, including Waise Lee as the brother of Wu Kei Kuo (Tony Leung Ka Fai's character from the original), and the race is on to find the bad guys! But there are still many mysterious portions of Hong Kong's capitalist culture for Shih Nan to explore, including the wonder of karaoke! Like the first film, Her Fatal Ways II is an intelligent comedy that eschews pratfalls and mugging for verbal humor and sly commentary on Hong Kong-Mainland China relations pre-1997. A climactic shootout, and the dependable comedy brilliance of Carol Dodo Cheng doesn't hurt, either! Her Fatal Ways III (1992) Carol Cheng returns as Mainland Inspector Cheng Shih Nan for more cultural comedy in Her Fatal Ways 3! This time out, Shih Nan is assigned to a top-secret mission to protect a Communist Party official in Hong Kong. The official is in Hong Kong to see his first love, but Taiwanese bad guys catch wind of the visit and plot an assassination. It's up to Shih Nan to save the day with help from a Taiwanese policeman named Yung (Chan Chung Yung), who just so happens to fancy Shih Nan! Director Alfred Cheung co-stars as Shih Nan's sidekick Hsiou Sheng, and popular character actor Anthony Wong is the the Hong Kong police liaison.
