Spy With My Face (Review)
Spy With My Face
aka Black Rose vs. Black Rose aka Hei mei gui yu hei mei gui aka 黑玫瑰與黑玫瑰
1966
Directed by Chor Yuen
Written by Poon Faan
The sequel to 1965’s Black Rose has a greatly expanded scope, as the Chan sisters go from being champions of the poor to outright superheroes who take down a sinister secret gang intent on robbing jewelry from all over the city. The James Bond influence is very heavy, as there are a lot of gadgets, microbombs, disguises, and hidden identities. The film also has what sounds like an original score that is rather well done as well (and also Bond influenced).
The review of Black Rose has miniprofiles of Nam Hung, Connie Chan, Patrick Tse, and Chor Yuen, so we don’t have to do it here! Hooray for laziness! We also have the overviews of the Jane Bond genre and other interesting links there so we don’t have to link it again here. Spy With My Face is notable because this film was where Connie Chan eclipsed Nam Hung and became a bona fide Hong Kong superstar.
A color print does survive in the HKFA vault, but the VCD release is a black and white dub probably made for TV. This sucks, because it would be great to see all the funky colors. At this point in time Cantonese cinema was on the decline as the Shaw Brothers were becoming the standard with their high production values and massive use of color. Shaw was also putting out their own spy films at this time, some with female leads as well.
Once again we have no subtitles, but TarsTarkas.NET doesn’t need no stinking subtitles! And the wife translated about half of the film before deciding it was time for bed, so the rest I just followed along the story as best I could. It all works out fine.

Wingnut Web – Pathetic Excuse For A Human Being Edition
Trooper knows the Final Solution is near.
Reality makes Michael Erway angry. And he is far above mocking of people
Michael Erway is no longer above mocking people and now applauds it
Karen Belver is a poster child for the need for government run mental healthcare
gary kaalberg is telling more war stories, he has fought in every major war since 1776!
He’s also dying of cancer. Because when you are dying of cancer, you post on the internet and get master’s degrees and all the other stuff he is claiming to do.
And he works for the CIA as a sniper!
gary kaalberg threatens to quit and namedrops the best site on the internet…
gary kaalberg is such a threat that some Resistnet posters question if he is a troll
What the heck, indeed!
Hot Google Alert action!
By very polite note he means he posted two comments where he called me names.
This is my favorite post ever. That email address is for the registrar of GoDaddy, btw, which isn’t even the registrar I use. The rest of the information is similarly as accurate
That means a lot coming from someone who spends 16 hours a day removing racist comments from Resistnet, and yet the site is still filled to the brim with them.
Translation: Please send death threats to this guy.
gary is still posting the wrong information days later…Resistnet posters salivate at the thought of calling me up and getting reported to the FBI and sent to jail
And now I killed his dog? WTF???
Here is what gary kaalberg wrote here:
let me set a few things straight. as a veteran i fought for yours and my freedom to say and believe what we choose to. unlike you i will not attack you personally. that is childish. i didnt vote for obama because of his record of voting in illinois as a senator. the record is there for everyone to see. voting present doesnt get it. thats a cowards way of sitting on the fence. it allows you to be on the winning side. you are probably thinking i am a red neck again you would be wrong. i didnt like bush either. i believe as a country that we can be socially conservative and take care of each other without involving the government. i believe that every american has the right to food housing and medical care. i give my time freely to help the poor. i dont need a community organizer to tell me how to do it. if you want to make a diffference in america then quit drinking the kool aid and invest the time in really checking out who you support.
Ha, sure you didn’t like Bush.
instead of acting infantile why dont you openly and honestly make your case. i will gladly share any research i have. i do not buy into prison planet anymore than any other sight. in fact i debunked the fema coffin junk. i ask all this. every president since eisenhower has made their birth cert. college trans. and other personal data available. why wont obama, how could he travel to pakistan and afghanistan when they were banned for travel from by the state dept.
You haven’t shared crap of the pictures you supposedly have, and your entire claim is full of as much crap as every other thing you say.
Added bonus: Resistnet.com also discusses the 365Black.com McDonald’s website!
CSA avatar guy shows his patriotism
gary kaalberg shows he is an insane racist besides being army, navy, air force, CIA, dale henderson, a genius, dying of cancer, and Jesus
They don’t hire white only, the fraks!
Poor white southerners and their racism. When will they catch a break?

Ah, Resistnet.com. Go fuck yourselves!

Somehow I don’t think McDonald’s will miss HD Rider’s business.
I was brought up racist but am not racist except this BLACK WOMAN totally tried to get me to be racist
JJ Abrams completely ruined Star Trek when he rebooted it.
A voice of reason?
Black people are all gang bangers anyway.
