The new review is up! It is the classic Chinese film How the Ape Girl Stole the Lotus Lamp, which you probably never heard of. Well, you should have heard of it, because it is pretty fun, even if you don’t speak a lick of Cantonese. Okay, I speak more of a lick, but still not enough to know what they are saying without my wife, but thanks to her we have a detailed plot synopsis, and character names. Thus I was able to do a bunch of research on the actors and actresses, making this one of the most researched reviews on here. I think the film deserves it, and I threw in three movie clips because the film deserves that as well. Read it now!

Awesome! This looks like a lot of fun.
Many thanks to you (and your wife) for the detailed plot summary. And thanks for the clips.
It was great to see such a young Josephine Siao in action.
Loved the monkeys!
Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more vintage Chinese vcds soon. I have my eyes on a few listed on the manufacturer’s website that might be interesting, and maybe they’ll be in SF’s Chinatown next time I’m there.
