Plot from Imdb: "A nurse decides to take justice in her own hands to fight the crime-syndicates of Hong Kong after her sister is drugged and abused by some local drug dealers."
First entry in our "Shaw Brothers Bizarre Flix" tournament, this minor revenge movie is typical of the move that the Shaw Bros. tried to initiate in the late 70's. As usual very aware of the competition, the HK studio tried its hands on a various exploitation subgenres, outside of their kung-fu / Wuxia pian line. They tried Kaiju Eiga,(Supra-Inframan), Pinku Violence (this very movie), Monsters, Comedy, Vampires, etc....
Most of these attempts failed miserably...to our present pervert's delight !!
Sexy Killer is far from being a gem, it's an average exploitation movie with a rather...how to put it..."curvy" star, without any charisma and a basic story. The only interesting element was for me the pop, flashy, over the top deco of the set and the rather unusual theme developed in the movie: drugs. Far from handling the subject directly, the drug abuse theme is mainly an excuse to concentrate on the revenge of the sister and an excuse for the nudity. A few scenes stands out: the introduction shot in the drug ridden disco at the beginning, the S&M chamber of the bad guy and the final shootout.
A refreshing change for Shaw Bros fanatics and an exotic turn on the classical Woman revenge subgenre.
