Fatal Attraction In Hong Kong

I am giving this a marginal pass because it wasn't boring, but it is still kind of a mess. Sandra Ng plays a prosecutor who gets somewhat humiliated by Simon Yam at a trial, but then falls for him. Veronica Yip plays Mrs. Lam, a sexy wife whose husband is impotent but needs Simon to impregnate her so she and her husband can inherit millions, especially if its a baby boy. This film is somewhat conflicted, not knowing whether it wants to be a comedy or drama, so you get much of both. Jealousy ensues on the part of Mrs. Lam, things happen and the result is a twisted "Fatal Attraction" but that film was far better. Not horrible, just recommended if you like the actors. Otherwise, you can skip it, its not that worthy of your time.

Forced Attempt At Comedy Loses Its Connection To Anything Humorous.

Simon Yam performs as Simon, a male prostitute, or "gigolo", who is hired by a woman, Mrs. Lau (Veronica Yip) to impregnate her because her husband is impotent, and has an insufficient sperm level as well, but she becomes passionately attached to Simon although he considers their brief liaison to be strictly a job, and accordingly will not encourage her enormous emotional needs. During this same time, Simon falls in love with Miss Koh (Sandra Ng), an assistant district attorney and sexually muffled woman who is also strongly attracted to the gigolo, despite her pretension to be alarmed at his lively exploits, and Simon finds that he must woo the rather plain attorney all the while fixing upon a method for her to forfeit an unwanted celibacy. It appears that Mrs. Lau's craving to bear a child involves financial gain instead of maternal instinct, and following a series of desperate efforts to gain Simon's love that founders completely, she assails him physically and also symbolically in a court of law where she is responsible for his being unjustly tried for murder, with Miss Koh as prosecutor, the film therewith becoming a lurid melodrama, replacing its earlier posture as sex saturated jollity. Hopelessly muddled in conception, the film is in turn an erotic comedy, a work of suspense based upon sexual obsession, and finally a courtroom drama, none of which is developed well enough to count towards being a rewarding form of entertainment, as the film's tone is simply too uneven, the script is poorly composed, and most attempts at humour are in bad or worse taste. A DVD has been issued and is of uneven quality, although it is a widescreen version with excellent Dolby sound; English subtitles are available and provide the most amusing element of the entire production.

Ugh, this was something else...

When I stumbled upon the 1992 movie "Yu Ya Gong Wu" (aka "Cash On Delivery") here in 2025, of course I had to check it out, as I am big fan of Hong Kong cinema. And this was actually a movie that I had never heard about. I have to admit that I figured that with the likes of Simon Yam and Sandra Kwan Yue Ng on the cast list, then I would be in for a proper good old fashioned Hong Kong movie. But that was not the case.Writers Kin Cheung and James Yuen wrote something that bordered on being softcore pornography at times, and that was most definitely not what I was expecting from this movie, especially not with the likes of Simon Yam and Sandra Kwan Yue Ng on the cast list. I struggled to sit through this movie, and have to admit that I ended up tossing the towel in the ring after 45 minutes. But by then I just had enough of the nearly non-existing storyline and the lovemaking scenes.The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, and not taking the intimate scenes into consideration in that statement. But I was surprised to find out that Simon Yam and Sandra Kwan Yue Ng were participating in such a movie.This was definitely not a defining moment in Hong Kong cinema. Nor was it a movie that entertained me, nor is it a movie that I will attempt to finish watching.A disappointing movie to say the least.My rating of director Terry Kay-Ming Tong's 1992 movie lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
