Emmanuelle in Hong Kong [2002]


Having already endured a film by exploitation filmmaker Dick Lau Tin-Sze, I should have not wasted 87 minutes with Emmanuelle in Hong Kong [2002]. I doubt that Stanley Kubrick would be happy to know Eyes Wide Shut [1999] had influenced this pathetic effort where everyone wears a stupid mask. I went to my Roget's New Millennium™ Thesaurus for help on this review. In an effort to describe my experience with Mr. Lau's first film, I'm going to use the word "abominable" and some of the synonyms I found such as "loathsome, lousy, nasty, nauseating, obnoxious, odious, offensive, repellent, reprehensible, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, rotten, sleazeball, stinking, terrible, very bad, vile, wretched". Thankfully, the DVD had a glitch which saved me from the last eight minutes of the 95 minute running time.
