Lan Kwai Fong 3 (2014)
Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)
It is getting to the point where I do not know what to say about yet another sequel to the atrocious “Lan Kwai Fong” trilogy (hoping this one will be the last, despite being highly unlikely). Movies can be bad, acting can be terrible, direction can be piss poor, but the latest Wilson Chin’s effort in “Lan Kwai Fong 3” is absolutely tasteless and borderline disgraceful. To call this a film is already an overstatement as it hardly qualifies as one. It is precisely a collection of Hong Kong’s so called “le-mos” who are pretty much talent-less apart from the saving grace of being youthful and possesses some busty body parts. If they are going to make a film this crude, they might as well be better off actually making an actually Category III film in the reins of the light weigh entertainment of “Due West: A Sex Journey” or even to a lesser extent “The 33D Invaders”. I know that there is a market for this kind of crude and demeaning films about clubbing, but there should be a limit and bottom line of having a half decent script before any future productions should even begin. In 2013, we have seen directors like Wong Jing trying and making a decent effort and if Wilson Chin continues like this, his career will probably be precisely like “Lan Kwai Fong” – cheap, disposable, senseless and bad.
Jeana Ho headlines as one of the four leads namely Ava Yu Kiu, Whitney Hui and Celia Kwok Wing-Yi. It is probably safe to say that if the quadrant is good at one thing, that is being consistent, meaning consistently bad. Perhaps, Celia Kwok flairs better out of the lot as her ugly make up allows her to do more of the acting, rather than purely relying on exterior looks. As for the male counterparts, they are all equally as terrible with the exception of Jason Chan who actually makes an effort to produce a performance. His chemistry with Whitney Hui offers the film with the minimal thing to cheer about. It is probably senseless for me to go on and discuss about acting in a film like this as nobody will be in the right mind to even care.
All in all, “Lan Kwai Fong 3” manages to be even worst than the already atrocious “Lan Kwai Fong 2” and that’s an enormous achievement by all means. As the saying goes, when you are at your lowest point, the only way is up. Perhaps that is precisely what director Wilson Chin and the cast and crew is aiming for. Anyhow, this is a bad movie with almost no redeeming factors. Surely the busty body parts and sexual moments of half naked bodies will likely bring an audience to the cinemas, but for the sake of the local Hong Kong film industry, these films are not worth supporting. As for Wilson Chin, please do everyone a flavor with immediate retirement. Now we understand why Dada Chan prefers being mentally ill than working with this man. It is this bad. (Neo 2014)
