The Revenge of The Killer 38D Call Girl
26 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A story reminiscent of the Hong Kong movie Human Meat Char Shao Bao (Bat Sit Fan Dim: Yan Yuk Cha Siu Bao), it could better be described as The Revenge of The Killer 38D Call Girl.

The synopsis in plain language: A superficially plausible tale of a roast meat hawker who falls for a call girl after she expresses compassion at his impotence following a failed paid liaison. His impotence and her continued sexy dressing then forms the basis of their failed marriage. Intertwined are several threads involving her now husband's lecherous drinking buddy with designs on her and a funeral director who wins her heart with his apparently genuine concern. His concern we later discover is just another male cunning designed to bed vulnerable women. To cut things short, all the exploitative men die and the ex call girl ends up running the roast meat shop. But not after they've all had a chance at her heavily augmented body.

Meant to be the second instalment in a trilogy modelled on Park Chan Wooks revenge trilogy, this is a far cry from the lofty film making of the Koreans. Instead it is unashamedly modelled on Rebecca Chen's remodelled 38D breasts.

It fails on multiple fronts. Poor script, poor sets, poor lighting, stiff acting and underwhelming sex scenes. The only high points were guessing what Rebecca Chen's lingerie wardrobe had to offer. If the theme was revenge, it doesn't build up sufficiently. If the theme was Rebecca Chen, they could have chosen a more attractive model. But in crazy rich Singapore, getting a local to ditch her clothes for the movies is not an easy thing to do. Even an more acclaimed director like Eric Khoo had to port a Japanese ex-AV actress.

Sorry Mr Loh but this didn't make the cut. 1 gave 5 points for your boldness.
