92 LEGENDARY LA ROSE NOIRE is a truly oddball slice of Hong Kong comedy, a spoof of the hard-to-find '60s spy drama BLACK ROSE about a female Robin Hood-type character. This one assembles the usual bunch of dopey characters for a kind of thirty-years later follow-up, with Tony Leung as a suave '60s-styled cop and Bo Bo Fung as the original Black Rose, now sadly suffering from dementia. Questionable mental health comedy aside, prolific director Jeffrey Lau brings his custom energy to the production, but it's all a jumble of scenes rather than any cohesive narrative. Teresa Mo is as great as ever, and there are some fun bits of action and scenes involving gangsters and traps along the way, but I didn't really enjoy it overall.
