Shen qi liang xia nu

During the mid 1980s, Hong Kong comedy movies are no better than just slap stick comedies and toilet humors. Most movies have no story plots or whatsoever at all. Basically it is a disaster. In 1987, Kam Kwok Leong, a previous TV director and actor, with a leap of faith, believing that some audience would appreciate a more cerebral comedy, and went on to the silver screen directing his first, Shen qi liang xia nu (Two Wonder Women). It was a full house during the Premiere Night. But during the viewing, viewers' laughter are constantly missing from all the punchlines, in another words, "viewers didn't get it". Disappointingly, viewers are expecting crude toilet humor jokes which are not present. Evidently, this film is not for the audience of the 80s. In my opinion, this is a rare and brilliant movie of its time, but just that it was made and released ahead of its time.
