Ubergirl craziness made in Hong Kong – Part 1

For some reason I like the cheesy displays of superhuman ubergirl powers in Hong Kong (horror) movies made in the 1980's and 1990's, which is why I'm devoting a series of posts to them. Most of the scenes I'll describe I have already posted at my board or youtube, but I'll link to the clips anyway and add a few screencaps for good measure. Anyway, here we go:

---

A Chinese Odyssey I - Pandora's Box (1995) - There are a couple of Chinese legends which are made to TV series or movies over and over again in Hong Kong or China, e.g. the Liao Zhai stories. Chinese Odyssey is based on Journey to the West.


In one scene two pretty demon ladies are attacked by a bunch of thugs. In typical Wuxia wire-fu fashion they send the bodies of their attackers flying all around with their kicks. One guy jumps at one of the demons but she just twirls his body around on her finger over her head and then punches him through the roof. They seem to be somewhat invincible, too. Too bad, that this was pretty much the only worthwhile ubergirl scene in both movies (as far as I remember).

Operation Pink Squad II - Thunder Cops (1989) - While A Chinese Odyssey is more of a fantasy/wuxia movie this one is a typical example of the cheesy Hong Kong horror movie of the 1980's. Btw. you can find out more about any of the movies I mention at the Hong Kong Movie Database.


A female ghost or demon chases a couple of people and attacks them. She lifts a woman by the throat and shortly after lifts a guy by the collar. Again, this was the only ubergirl scene in the movie.

The Demon's Baby (1998) - This one has a flying demon baby in it that slices a man in half. Seriously. In the second half of the film a bunch of demon baby possessed women wreak havoc among the townspeople: Their bellys open and reveal big fanged mouths that start devouring their victims or shoot tentacles at them and stuff. It's probably the best movie ever made.


There are two ubergirl scenes both done by a possessed girl (Annie Wu): In the first, right after the flying baby scene, she grabs a guy by the throat and lifts him up. In the second scene we see her holding another guy over her head with one hand and then throw him to the ground.

That's it for now. There is a lot more to come in the near future ...
