dirtylaundri – ★★☆☆☆
“Quite fun as long as it sticks to being a stupid s&x comedy with a rather decent cast (even Lam Suet shows up!), but when it becomes clear that all the sfx-s&x-nonsense builds up towards a boring, ultra-generic and seemingly neverending non-sfx softcore scene, my goodwill is gone immediately.” -
BjorkShandy – ★★★☆☆
“There is a scene where they parody ‘Grease’ and the woman has electrical org&sms… this song intro was a real lightbulb moment…. I guess I’m full of bright ideas. ‘Electrical Girl’ has quite a few funny scenes… I would expect nothing less from a CAT III film about a woman who produces electricity every time she org&s.” -
Georgedcc – ★★☆☆☆
“This is some pretty close to bottom of the barrel Hong Kong s&x comedy, about a woman who emits bolts of electricity whenever she’s in a s&xual situation. She can also predict the correct lottery numbers too, if she can find a man able to go the distance with her, which is a decidedly more convenient power.”

Dennis Vehlen – ★★½
“Svrl* Rp is an okay Cat III erotic film that sadly doesn’t have anything to do with its ultra-sleazy title. Nobody gets severely rpd here, and since that’s what the title promises, I’m pretty disappointed by the severe lack of rpe. It’s a morally ambiguous drama starring Elvis Tsui as a guy from Hong Kong who wants to find true love and gets cheated in Mainland China. Everybody cheats everybody, and every woman from there is looking for money from her lovers—that’s about all you get in terms of story. Being made one year after Hong Kong was united with Mainland China, this might all be more of an analogy about China corrupting (or rpng)…” -

Girl-Gang (1993)
Reviews from Letterboxd:

Lou (rhymes with wow!) – ★★★☆☆
“An ultra sleazy Cat. III drama about two teenage girlfriends who get tricked into prostitution. There is a real grittiness to it all. Girl-Gang actually feels like a PSA against the dangers of leaving your kids unsupervised; your sons will become hoodlums/pimps and your daughters working girls. This movie is chock-full with senseless violence and s&xual exploitation. A prime example of ’90s Hong Kong nihilism.” -
Dave Jackson – ★★★☆☆
“Girl-Gang follows the downward spiral of two friends, Amy (Amy Wong Oi-Mei) and Yin (Nam Yan), as they are tricked into becoming prostitutes for a bunch of aggressive junior gangsters. Though Girl-Gang is not nearly as brutal and out of control as some of Hong Kong’s more famous nasty offerings, there is something deeply unsettling about it. Its grimy, artless cinematography, reminiscent of Suburb Murder, and its sleazy sweaty s&x scenes are not any more or less obnoxious than your average scummy CAT III, but there’s a kind of painful realism to the systematic manipulation of the ‘girl gang’ (which is in no way a gang). The performances are also quite good in a raw and amateurish way.”
Meta Description:
