Customer Reviews of Wicked City (1992)
One and a half stars - This is wicked boring poo-poo... I have a vague memory of seeing the live Hong-Kong version of Wicked City prior to watching the Anime version, and liking it. No idea why I got the viewing order switched around, but these things happen. I even remember liking this low-budget sci-fi stuntfest AFTER watching the Anime. <

>Funny how your mind can play tricks on you. With that tiny, vague memory in place, I bought a used DVD copy at a fire-sale that my local video store was having (should'a been a hint, probably). Feeling oddly like I'd just found a long lost bit of treasure, I gleefully tore home, popped the disk in my DVD player, and spent the next hour and a half bored out of my mind, wondering what the h*** I'd been thinking. <

>There's plenty going on here... More than director Tai Kit Mak can seem to get a handle on. The movie is creative enough within its confined budget, with more special effects, cheesy acting (LOTS of jump cuts to over-emoting actors wearing baggy suits or doe-eyed actresses in skimpy dresses), and hyper-kinetic, high-flying stunts than you can shake a creepy vampire-spider-lady at. <

>The plot? Something about a hundred year old war between speedy, gun-toting Humans and super-powered Monsters disguised as humans, that's quickly coming to a nasty head. Two Hong Kong cops and the head-honcho monster's daughter are the only thing standing in the way of a full-monster takeover, via an imported Monster drug called 'Happiness'; a highly addictive energy drug that causes a nasty case of spontaneous combustion if you stop taking it. <
> <
>My advice? Stick with the Anime - although I haven't seen that in a long time either, so maybe it's as bad as this... <

To "A Viewer" that stated that nudity is not nice to put in anime. You cant have a good anime without some form of sex. As far as this film goes, not quite as cool as the actual anime it was based on, but still worth the time.
Wicked City
The comic book action is what makes the backbone of this movie that is based on the manga. The plot involves a woman from another dimension and a human policeman from earth who are trying to keep the peace between their races by preventing an assasination and staying alive in the process. There are subplots involving policeman's partner being part human and part preturnatual beastie keeping his evil wild side in check while helping him and the woman out; the love story between the policeman and the woman; and all of the characters questioning where their loyalties lie. I highly recommend this movie to anime and manga fans.
