'Sexy Girls of Denmark' is lackluster entertainment...
2 April 2005
'Sexy Girls of Denmark' is an erotic-comedy-drama produced by the Shaw Brothers studio and directed by Lu Chi/Lui Kei. A businessman's son, Kwok Chuen(Chung Wa/Tsung Hua), heads to Denmark to take care of a deal for a movie studio. In Denmark, he meets and falls "in lust" with actress Ann Charolette(Birte Tove). Later on, Kwok Chuen finds out that Ann Charolette is a soft-core porn actress and she has no plans of leaving the industry or having a relationship with Kwok Chuen. Kwok Chuen later meets Ms. Fang(Li Ching, not to be confused with actress Ching Li, Ching Miao's daughter), a Chinese woman living in Denmark. Will he succeed in seducing her, winning her love and her hand in marriage? Should we care?

There's a lot more working against 'Sexy Girls of Denmark' than for it. The story fails to be engaging most of the time, the Danes seem to speak more English than Danish in the film, the wobbly camera work may make one dizzy, the bizarre editing could cause seizures, and the close-ups of people kissing each other(with tongue!)may cause nausea! I adore actress Li Ching, but I personally, will never get over her unfortunate involvement in this hunk of junk. This film does contain some decent acting, a few effective gags, and "Baby Queen" Li Ching, but there aren't enough redeeming factors to save this lackluster film. Birte Tove and a number of other Danish women are constantly nude in the film. Li Ching and Karen Yip are kept clothed as they were considered "legitimate" actresses in Hong Kong, at the time. Tsung Wa and Li Ching "make love" during a montage with period costumes and weapons. This film isn't a turkey, but it's close!
