The most off-the-wall and outrageous entry so far in the Raped by an Angel "series" produced by Wong Jing. Wealthy ex-CIA agent Daniel (Ben Ng), a Chinese-American serial rapist, recruits some like-minded sleazebags and targets a well-known writer of love stories, Siu-han (Suki Kwan), who lives in a remote house nearby. After Daniel kidnaps one of Siu-han's friends (Yang Fan) and makes her a sex slave in his basement, Siu-han's cop boyfriend (Nick Cheung), investigates.
Rape films are a special sub-genre of Hong Kong crime movies, with their own rules and expectations, and Wong Jing is a leading director-producer of these films. The story is partially adapted from Hollywood sources - in this case, Scream and Enemy of the State - but relocated in a totally different genre. Anthony Wong contributes a hilarious cameo as the Human Milk Drinking Doctor, a former serial rapist who's now a projectionist in a porn cinema, and Nick Cheung, in one of his early movies, shows a talent for comedy. Athena Chu briefly reprises her role as a policewoman from Raped 2 (Udine 1999), though that's the only thing in common between the two movies.
